From the priests in Mirebalais: the current situation is dire.
Because of gangs and lack of law enforcement, people are moving from the capital and other cities to Mirebalais because it is defensible: there are only 3 roads in. Migrants come with only the clothes on their backs. Often their homes have been burned by gangs.
Food for one person is $2/day. Five gallons of clean drinking water costs one dollar. A one-room living space can be rented for $70/month.
The priests at St. Pierre Episcopal & St. Louis Catholic parishes have asked if Haiti Outreach Mission (HOM) can provide them with humanitarian assistance. To contribute, make donations to St. Clare’s designated for HOM. Click here to give online.
