UPDATE: We have secured free, reliable shipping directly to Haiti over the next 10 days.
Dozens of people from Atlanta (and around the world) are working with us to make sure that every person in Haiti has temporary waterproof shelter before the rainy season/hurricane season hits. When this happens, disaster will strike if the 700,000+ people that are still living under sheets with sticks don’t have something stronger.
Yes. Homes need to be rebuilt. We are working on that. This will take months and years to complete and we have to make sure that people have shelter NOW before the rains come in just a few weeks. A few very quick points:
- We are launching a website and will be asking people in partner cities all around the United States to join us in creating tent collection sites and more.
- We are working now on creating consistent delivery channels to Haiti – including a reliable, efficient distribution hub on the ground there.
- Until our website launches, we would prefer for you buy the actual tents and send them and not donate money just yet.
BUY ANY TENTS from this Amazon.com wishlist (they are approved, waterproof tents) and send them directly to us @

I would venture that sending tarps (and tarp tie-downs)is a good idea too – we can send more of them than tents because they are cheaper, so it is a good stopgap measure. And I found them super cheap here: http://www.wttool.com/product-exec/product_id/157...

A lot of these tents you can not stand up in. I love http://www.shelterbox.org/ tents. And if you donate you can track your donation that is great since there has been so much fraud. Remember Katrina..we gave so much money and it disappeared.
Anyway, I think we can donate money here and Shaun can buy a shelter box and we will be able to track it and see who gets it. Makes us feel more involved.
@dramaqueene –
I love shelterbox! But each one of their kits costs hundreds and hundres of dollars. For that amount, we can buy scores of tents for people – and with the numbers of tentless people, I'm thinking we need to go that way for now.
