RELIEF Update from PG

Hello R.E.L.I.E.F.,

First-off - thank you for all of those who supported RELIEF at our first organized fundraiser last week. We raised over $25,000 and gained support from executives at Home Depot, the Mayor of Port au Prince, the Mayor of Miami, and many others. Monetary donations are still needed - Please continue to VENMO your support!

Good News and Bad News:


Good News First:

1) The Mayor of Port au Prince has asked our organization to construct the very first building in Haiti since the Earth Quake (see the attached picture for the location)

2) This Friday in Haiti RELIEF will be celebrating with the Mayor of Miami and the Mayor of Port au Prince, the Ground Breaking Ceremony for this new structure

3) The building will be an all purpose pavilion, emergency fall out shelter, public facility, and town hall.

4) Children from Miriam's Orphanage will be helping RELIEF construct the building

5) Materials have been generously donated from the executives @ Home Depot and numerous other big named corporations

Bad News:


It is necessary to postpone the June 10-14th trip to Haiti as we currently do not have all the appropriate information necessary for this new structure and are afraid that the June 10th send-off date will not give us adequate time to prepare. We sincerely apologize for this delay and hope to schedule a new date for the early summer within the coming weeks.


Please let us know if you have any further questions, comments, or concerns!

Best Regards,

-Peter Groverman
