We would not have been able to do this without you all. A special thanks goes out to the numerous people who donated items to fill the two trucks. And to God’s Pit Crew for getting these things to Haiti! We apologize if anyone was left out, we tried our best to keep up with everyone that participated. Thank you all and God bless.
