Caring House Aid Team Makes It Into Port Au Prince Haiti After Earthquake

by admin | January 15th, 2010

Update from Kimberley Trombly-Burmeister, Executive Director, Caring House Project Foundation

Frank McKinney and the Caring House Project Foundation disaster relief teams successfully ARRIVED in Port-au-Prince, Haiti yesterday ( Thursday, Jan 14, 2010) for Emergency Haiti Earthquake Relief.  We wasted no time to respond in this short window of opportunity to search for and rescue those trapped, and treat those critically injured.  Our team of doctors, paramedics, firefighters and other team members specifically trained in search, rescue and extraction techniques in natural disasters have been working since arrival.

As you saw on the news, non-military flights were being denied access to fly into Port-au-Prince, but our world class response team kept diligent with our efforts and received clearance to arrive in this critical time period.  We were the first American Emergency Relief Team to arrive.

I have heard from Frank McKinney and the team.  They have set up their site operations relief camp and joined in with 15 other countries and international teams in an organized relief effort.  At this point, we are still the only American Relief team that has arrived.  Since their arrival, Frank  and the team have been actively engaged in the search and rescue efforts and the immediate necessary medical attention .  They have felt some of the aftershocks since, but are all safe.

Frank and I, along with our rescue team want to sincerely thank you for your donations and all your support.  If you haven’t, and would still like to do so, please visit our donate page http://www.frank-mckinney.com/donate.aspx
or you can call 561-722-3950.  The devastation to this country is tragic, and it will take a long time to rebuild, but the Caring House Project Foundation is committed to being there for the duration.  We appreciate your help.

We will keep connected with you regarding the latest information on our Caring House Project Foundation emergency relief efforts.

Thank you again for all  your support!
