A Hole in the Roof

Our Progress

11/09: The Shingle Bells Campaign raises over $20,000—the balance needed to complete the repair for the roof of I Am My Brothers’ Keeper Church in Detroit, MI.

2/09: AHITR selects Caring and Sharing Mission & Orphanage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti as the next project—“Espere: The Campaign for Haiti’s Tomorrow,” We raised over $70,000 in 19 days to help rebuild and repair the site

4/09: Mitch and a crew of eight skilled volunteers from Detroit spend five days installing the first flush toilets and real showers, a kitchen roof, a new platform for the water reservoir, and a new enclosure for the generator. The improvements made in such a short amount of time have helped turn a crumbled orphanage into a home they never had before.

7/09: Nineteen generous souls return to Haiti to complete the repairs: a new kitchen sink (first ever) and enclosure; dorm room ceilings repaired, walls painted, floors tiled; electricity repaired; showers get roof and enclosures.
