Operation Haiti Relief
Our involvement in Haiti began within days after the devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010 by providing private emergency air travel for medical professionals, missionaries, and supplies. This was made possible by one of our generous sponsors, Arthur Middleton Capital Holdings. Today, The Granted Wish Foundation has a physical presence in Haiti with a satellite office at New Life Children's Home in Port Au Prince and continues to offer aid to Haitian citizens in many ways, including providing rehabilitation to disabled children and adults.
How is The Granted Wish Foundation Helping?
The Granted Wish Foundation is providing ongoing support to the critically injured children and adults from the Haiti earthquake. Our involvement in Haiti came as a direct result of requests we received from several organizations. Here are a few ways we continue to make a difference:
The Granted Wish Foundation obtained and shipped two Mobile Medical Units to Haiti which are being used by world-renowned organizations such as J/P HRO, Partners In Health, and St. Damien's Hospital. The Medical Mobile Units continue to help save many lives and treat those with medical needs.
We aid in the ongoing shipping and delivery of supplies needed to manufacture prosthetics.
Wisbens is a nine-year-old boy who lost his mother and his leg when his house crumbled in the earthquake. With his new prosthetic, he is able to run, jump, and play again.
The Granted Wish Foundation continues to provide children with life-threatening illnesses private flights to the United States to receive the treatment they need.
Maken, a 12-year-old boy, is just one of the children that has been able to take advantage of this very generous contribution.
Mitha Saint Me is a 29-year-old, homeless, double amputee, mother of four (ages 3, 7, 8, & 12) who was abandoned by the father of her children after she lost her legs.
We are providing temporary housing to Mitha and her family while we build a new home for them.
