35 more beds!

As mentioned in our last blog update, we are thrilled by the arrival of the first 35 beds to Hôpital Sacré Coeur and very happy to announce that we have received a second donation of 35 hospital beds from the very generous Bethanien Hospital.

Unlike our first shipment of beds from Germany to Haiti, that saw a freight container pass first from a shipping port in Düsseldorf to a port in Miami, and then unto port in Cap-Haïtien, our second shipment of beds are traveling directly to Haiti! With the help of the Dutch division of Mission & Relief Logistics, the 100 Beds for Haiti Campaign has arranged for door-to-door shipping of these 35 beds through Rotterdam. This process should help us navigate the complexities of freight forwarding through customs and bring the donation of beds to Cap Haïtien by the end of July or the beginning of August.

Freight containers at port in Rotterdam: can you spy our shipment?!

With 35 beds delivered and 35 more on their way, we are so close to reaching our goal of delivering 100 hospital beds to Haiti. In addition to our thankfulness to the Bethanien hospital and our friends in Germany, we are very grateful to all you generous donors that are making this possible. Stay tuned for an update as these beds make their way to Haiti!
