Help PPAF & Its Partners Alleviate Suffering in Haiti

You’ve heard the news. You know the people of Haiti are suffering in almost unimaginable ways. Now is the time for action. Our hearts go out to Haitians who are facing the aftermath of a dreadful catastrophe, and to their families abroad who are struggling to learn the condition of their loved ones. 

David Stillman, PPAF Executive Director, is currently in neighboring Dominican Republic.  He has had several emergency meetings about how PPAF can help provide aid to Haiti and PPAF’s Chair and Board members are all reaching out to colleagues. 

The country faces urgent needs for water, food, medical care, care for the dead, road reconstruction, and the creation of temporary shelter.  Financial contributions are needed now to support this work. 

PLEASE HELP SUPPORT TWO OF PPAF’S PARTNERS:

FOR CASH DONATIONS

(1)   AIRLINE AMBASSADORS INTERNATIONAL (AAI) is a 501(c)3  organization affiliated with the United Nations and recognized by the US Congress.    AAI has planes and volunteer pilots and crew standing by to fly goods into Haiti.  One loaded with 80 tons of medical equipment and supplies is ready to go, but funds are needed urgently for the airplane fuel.  It costs about $15,000 to fuel a single humanitarian flight filled with critical supplies.   (This plan includes some Project C.U.R.E. donated goods.)

Contribute directly to Airline Ambassadors international.  If you decide to do this, you can contribute online.  You can note under: Instructions to merchant that the NFP (not-for-profit) PPAF inspired your donation for jet fuel oil

      Thank you for posting our list and helping to get the word out! We’re planning to do 4-5 containers once logistics are cleared up with importation processes. All donations are appreciated and will be put to good use!
