A little help from my friends?

Hello from Haiti

Things are moving along down here, but not fast enough!  There has been political unrest and restricted travel.  There has been very little grid power and shortages of gasoline.  Things have been quite difficult lately.

I am writing today to ask for some help to get this project moving a little faster.  I believe that once the carpentry school and business has a solid foundation, it will be able to support my family and our mission on its own.  But we are not there yet.

I have lots to work with, I just need some help to get it going.  I have a carpentry business with a solid product line and many happy customers.  I have land with clean title for the school and our home.  I have countless future students begging me to start teaching them carpentry.

How can you help?

• Monthly support - I could use a little more monthly support for the basics of life
• Donations toward a specific project...If you are interested in seeing your support go directly toward a goal, I have several projects that are not fully funded yet.
• Your hands - come down and give me a hand for a while
• Connections - if you know of someone who is interested in vocational training and fighting poverty in a third world country, get us connected!
• Prayer - I know God is watching out for us, tell Him thanks for us and ask Him for the patience to see this through.

Monthly support and one time donations can be made with the links at the top right corner of this page.  Or, you can get a check to Tools for Success, a 501(c)3, in Nebraska.  Send me an email for the address...blueteamleader@gmail.com.

Specific projects I have in mind are:

• Solar power for the shop - $9,000
• Security wall for the property - $8000
• Workshop area on the property - $3000
• Temporary place to live on the property - $5000  (We will use the building for something else when we have built our house)

For the most part, this will be investing money in me and in Haiti.  For example, when I build the security wall, that money goes into the pockets of hard working Haitians.  The guys that make the block, load the truck, deliver the materials, build the wall...etc.  The solar equipment will be purchased from a Haitian company in Port au Prince.

Please consider investing in Haiti.  Please consider investing in me!

Also please contact me if you would like to know more.  Again, my email address is blueteamleader@gmail.com, I am on Facebook, or you can just call me +509 44-96-97-08!

Thanks,
