Reasons to Support GLA:

GLA: http://www.glahaiti.org/

GLA is a credible 501(c)(3) non-profit Christian ministry organization. They did a wonderful job raising our son and have been in Haiti since for many years. They are fortunate to have RNs, teachers, medical supplies, a generator and links to the outside world. GLA staff LOVE the people of Haiti and they are dedicated to helping those in need.

The need in Haiti will last for years to come... Please, will you help?
