If you've been wondering what you can do to personally help the people of Haiti here is something for you. My daughter's work is collecting supplies care of Dr. MacArthur. Dr. MacArthur has been down there assisting the medical community. They are having to do a lot of amputations to save lives. Especially on children. They need canes, crutches, and wheelchairs. They could also use any type of bandages or gauze.
Here is something truly heart wrenching. They desperately need baby formula. There are many orphaned babies and they have been feeding them sugar water to keep them soothed, but it does not offer any nutrition. If you have any formula at your house or you know someone who might have some at their house or can purchase some, please bring it to my daughter Amy's house in Provo before 12pm on Thursday. You can also probably take your donations directly to my daughter's work at DHI Computing Services at 1525 West 820 North in Provo before 3pm on Thursday.
The formula can even be a little old or opened, they aren't turning anything down. Costco formula is fairly inexpensive as far as formula goes. If you can't donate formula, you can donate money and I will purchase the formula for you. Again, it needs to be brought to my daughter Amy's house in Provo before 12pm on Thursday. If you are bringing money, please bring it by Wednesday evening.
Mrs. MacArthur is coming by my daughter's work at 3pm to pick up all the donations and the plane leaves Friday. The donations will go directly to those in need because a chopper meets the plane when it lands and flies the supplies out to the medical team.
Here is the news story of when the medical team left. They have sent other news videos but they are a little too graphic for most people.

Thanks for your help.
