We tearfully awaiting news on Widelyne HA 310

We sponsor our Guivenson from HA712. He’s been my child for 11 years. I believe he’s safe because he’s by Gonaives which is pretty far away! However, I am consumed with pain in my heart over all of this! I am praying for all the Compassion staff, all of you sponsors, all of the children…and the whole country. My heart…hurts!!

Patrick, You are amazing! Thank you for helping everyone out with their locations. I know mine is up north, if you dont mind, can you tell me how many miles away it is? Thanks!

Will NEVER stop praying!!

Piterson is in Bainet HA278… Praying the Elim Child development Center is intact. Praying for Piterson and his family.

Do you know where the Delmas center is located? HA396. Thanks

Our son sponsors Woodley at HA-812. We hear that is 13 miles east of the epicenter. Can you provide information about that center? And Patrick, thanks so much for your updates! We are praying fervently for Woodley and all the people of Haits.

Patrick,
Thank you SO MUCH for all your help in assisting us on our children’s locations. Our thoughts and prayer are with you and all of Haiti,and everyone there trying to help.
God Bless

I sponsor Getho HA-204. His development center is on the list of ones known to have been affected. Please pray for all in the area, that survivors will get the medical aid, food and supplies that are needed.
Please God Bless Haiti and all who are living/serving there.

How far is HA-219 from the epicenter?

Patrick;

HA 799? Looks like Les Cayes, but not certain. Can you help? Praying for our Jouvens to be safe in Jesus’ hands!

Bret & Vicki

Sandra is in HA-279, the Philippe center in Bainet (I think). Does anyone know anything about Bainet? Seems like it’s about 20 miles from the epicenter. Her center is not on the list, but the list was also incomplete. Appreciate any information or would like to talk to anyone with a child in that area…

is there anyway of knowing how long it will take to recieve info on the well being of our children?

Is there any word yet about the Morency Child Development Center north of Les Cayes?

Here is the email we received last night from our New Zealand Tear Fund office…perhaps this helps… although it is very hard news to read….Dear TEAR Fund Haitian Sponsor,

We would like to give you a quick update on what has been happening in Haiti and what our sponsorship partner – Compassion International is doing for your sponsored child.

More than a week after the massive earthquake rocked Haiti, recovery efforts are in full swing and communication channels are finally slowly beginning to flow through. The sporadic communication and transportation problems in Port au Prince initially hampered Compassion’s attempts to provide assistance and gather information about each development centre and each child and family.

The latest estimates are that about 50 child development centres were seriously affected by the earthquake. Compassion has presently made contact with 28 projects and have reported that there are 120 deaths, 42 severely wounded, 218 with fractures, 1,270 homes destroyed and 686 homes damaged. These numbers include children, family members, staff and church members. We continue to work diligently with Compassion to collect accurate information to share with you. We would appreciate your patience with us as this process will take some time.

Please be assured that if your child was affected by the earthquake, we will contact you directly with specific information when we receive it.

Due to the uncertainty of security and flights into Port-au-Prince, supplies are being flown into Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic (DR). From there, a team will move the supplies to our warehouse on the DR/Haiti border. Supplies will then be broken out into smaller shipments and delivered to our church partners and the children and families they serve. Compassion is also currently assembling a medical team to travel to Haiti to address the overwhelming medical needs.

Please pray for your sponsored child and family. Please also remember the staff in Haiti. Especially remember those who are mourning the loss of their loved ones. Pray that God will give them the strength and courage in their time of need as they reach out to help our children and their families.

If you have any other questions regarding this information, please do not hesitate to call us on 0800 800 777 or email enquires@tearfund.org.nz

Thank you again for your patience and prayers for Haiti at this time.

Praying constantly for Carolane and her family! … Praying for the nation :*(

Patrick:

God has so blessed us with your services in providing information. We continue our prayers for you, all of Haiti and especially our Phalonne in South Leogane (HA-152). How far from the epicenter is HA-152?

May God bless Haiti and give comfort to his children.

Looking for info on Lybenson (HA-812).Rec’d a letter from his mother the Monday before the quake. Very worried for him & his family. My prayers continue for Haiti.

We sponsor Miquetha at the Quartie Morin Child Development Center. Number 792 and cannot find that number anywhere on the maps. Is there a reason it is not on the maps?

Patrick…Thank you so very much for helping us. You are such a blessing! The prayers will continue.

I am very concerned. I am desperate to know about the child I support! I love her so much! Her name is Incesse and she lives 4 miles from Port au Prince and if you here anything about her, please contact me. My whole church and friends are praying for her. Please, Please, Please find her. We are praying for your staff too and the other families who are going through some challenges…Trust in the Lord with all of your heart… Thank You and God Bless!

looking for my sponsored child -#HA-254 his name Marc-Anni

Information on our sponsored child, Sharlie, HA-724. We appreciated the information provided to an earlier request about that same center. Thank you.

Although I know it will be sometime before we hear anything about Rushama. I am continually praying for her safety and that of her brothers and sisters and parents! It somehow gives me comfort writing on this wall and for that I just wanted to say Thank You to all! Prayer is powerful so lets continue to pray for all those in Haiti!

Thanks to all of you who are sharing geographic info about the centers. Can anyone tell us the distance of 804 from the epicenter? We continue to pray for our sponsored child and his family….

@Kelly – my sponsored child is also in HA-804. I don’t know how much this helps, but I understand that 804 is north of the epicenter area, but I do not know how far nor how much damage the Tabarre region sustained. I did notice from Compassion’s updates thus far that #804 is not on the list of the 28 (of 50) affected centers they’ve visited to assess damage. I also just keep praying for my child too, as well as all of the people in Haiti!

Dear Patrick, Thank you for the update on the location of Anse-`a-Galet (HA312)to the epicenter of PaP. We still haven’t heard of Yvan’s situation and are earnestly praying for him and his family.

We have a sponsored son, Wilgrens, at the Philipee center at Bainet, HA 279. I have not heard anything from that area. I pray deeply that he and his family are safe/healthy. I thank Sarah Rose for her reminder that those called home are dancing and worshiping with Jesus and we can rejoice that they are. Dear Lord, I don’t question your sovereinty. There is much we won’t understand until we stand with you in eternity. I look forward with eager antcipation for the amazing works You will accomplish in the midst of this diaster. My heart is broken for the people of Haiti. May Your people rise to the occasion and good triumph over what was meant for evil. Bless Your faithful servants in Haiti.

We sponsor Shelda. She is 8 yrs old at the HA812 center. Does anyone have info on that center?
Thanks. We remain in prayer

Karin,
My Sandra is at the same center as Wilgrens. If you hear anything, or if I hear anything, we must get in touch. As I look at the maps it seems that Bainet is about 20 miles from the epicenter. I don’t know what that means. I wish there was some way I could give you my email without posting it to everyone at once! Do you know of any way?

Any info on Sahida. She is in
HA727. Very concerned. Praying for all the children and staff.
Thank you.

I pray that her and her family are okay, and hope that someone may be able to give me some information. She is involved with the Plaine Mapou Child Development Center. Thank you.

Just found a comment about HA784 that read it is 37 miles from the epicenter. thanks so much for easing my mind.

Concerned about our Laurichama at HA-817. I finally located the center, but wondering how close in miles it is from the epicenter.

Anxiously waiting for any info on that center and our child. Praying for everyone involved in aid, and for the sponsored children and their families.

Hello,
Do you have any specific information regarding the people at HA 724 and how far from the epicenter of the earthquake this CDC is? That is the location of our sponsored girl.

God Bless Compassion’s efforts and the people of Haiti.

Thank you,
Tim and Rachel

It looks as though no one has posted on this blog since February 2010. Has this conversation moved to another blog? I would like to speak with others, especially if there is anyone else that has a child at HA 778. The maps on this page were partially helpful… I would love a prayer partner on this. Thank you

My child is Samantha HA-739. I have been her friend/sponsor for I think about three years. Re: her whereabouts, I cannot get a sense of her. Often I can, regarding a situation, like the time I knew I would be getting my grandkids. Sure enough the call…”Mom….? Three years! Now I have only a sense that Samantha is okay but that can go both ways. She is either okay here, or with her Heavenly Father. I look forward to hearing of her or from her. I have sent her a message. God blessing and strength to all of you who are giving your life to rescue these kids. And God’s peace and hope to all us sponsors who wait.

@Christine, on OurCompassion.org, which is a website for connecting Compassion sponsors and people with a heart for Compassion, there are 15 people who sponsor kids from HA778. If you join then you can send messages to them and ask about what information they have heard. One sponsor mentions they heard their child is alive but home was damaged and another one’s status indicates she has not yet heard about her child. OC (nickname for OurCompassion) would be a great place to find a prayer partner of someone who has a child in the same project! There also are several groups about Haiti where people pray for their kids and post what Compassion has told them about their children.

@Sarah Rose, there are 20 sponsors on OC who have kids in HA739.

My name is Lucia Louissaint, I was sponsored by someone in compassion; however I can’t remember the name of that person. I want to say thank you to all the families in U.S who is helping kids around the world. May God continue to bless you all. I want to do the same too by sponsor a kid from any country. I just want to meet that person who help me in Haiti. Once again thank you compassion for all the help.

I sponsored a child Darlene Paul Ha-158. For some reason she is not in the program any longer. Can you please let me know any information about her, or the area she was in during the earthquake? It is very discouraging to sponsor a child, and then loose all contact without knowing the circumstances of them leaving, or if they are ok.
