Dear Friends and Neighbors:

You might be aware that on Tuesday January 12, 2010, a series of earthquakes with aftershocks with magnitudes ranging from 6.5 to 7.3 devastated Port-au-Prince, Haiti, which is also my birthplace. As you are reading this, countless families and individuals are currently going without food, shelter, and are lacking essential medical care every day. This calamity has now further devastated the island to where even those who were in a position to aide themselves previously, no longer have that capacity.

JC Charters and Tours, LLC and Gospel Assembly Church have a long standing history of supporting our spiritual leaders, fellow brothers and sisters in Haiti. Since our inception, we have maintained solid ties to Haiti through various sponsorship and outreach programs.

During these critical times, we need your help! Any amount you donate will allow us to purchase food, medication, and supplies to be distributed to communities in need. Our focus will be on newly-orphaned children and the elderly that have not yet been assisted by larger humanitarian organizations currently on the ground such as UNICEF and the American Red Cross. Together, we will be able to help many of these families and individuals in attending to their essential daily needs.

Your contributions will be tax deductible and can be made via check, payable to JC Charters and Tours, LLC or Gospel Assembly Church. In addition to monetary funds, we are also collecting clothes, shoes, toiletries, aluminum cans and non-perishable items. Feel free to contact us at (301)674-9382 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for pickup and delivery options.
