Grace Orphanage, Port-au-Prince, Haiti........Marie Major, Orphanage Director and Pastor

Faith disaster relief response - Haiti earthquake

Faith has been supporting Grace Orphanage and School in Port-au-Prince Haiti, which were established and are operated by Marie Major after attending seminary in Florida and returning to Haiti to witness to her people. Marie visited Faith in the Spring, 2009. Marie’s church and orphanage were destroyed during the earthquake on January 12th.  The orphanage was the second story of the church and collapsed into the church itself during the quake. Marie and her girls are fine.  Her school is intact. Marie and the girls sleep across the street on blankets at night.  During the day the girls are either in school or with Marie under tarps in the same area they sleep at night. 

Many of you have asked, “How can I help Marie’s Grace Orphanage?”  We asked that question of Marie herself.  Marie’s response was, “I want to rebuild the church and orphanage.” If you want to help Marie in this rebuilding, you may send your tax-deductible contribution to Faith Lutheran Church at 1000 Tates Creek Road, Lexington, Kentucky, 40502.  Checks should be made out to Faith Lutheran Church.  Please write “Grace Orphanage” on the memo line of your check.

ELCA disaster relief response - Haiti earthquake

The ELCA, through the Lutheran World Federation, is already responding to the critical needs of survivors in Haiti.  Thankfully, the LWF offices and staff on the island were spared in the earthquake, making it possible for work to begin immediately.  Staff there will focus their immediate efforts on issues of water safety and sanitation, assisting with medical triage, and providing emergency sheltering for the many who are now homeless.  The ELCA has long-standing relationships in Haiti through several organizations and the Lutheran Church in Haiti.

In anticipation of your generous gifts, ELCA Disaster Response has authorized $250,000 for immediate relief assistance in Haiti, with the possibility for an additional $500,000 as the full scope of this disaster continues to become clear.  Your gifts are needed now to make this type of rapid response possible.
