"For we are God's fellow workers." 1 Corinthians 3:9

Dear Friends and Family,

I wanted to share with you that I will be returning to Haiti for another medical mission trip on October 18th! What an awesome opportunity God is giving me and calling me to help these people who are in such great need. We will be providing medical clinics in the different cities of Haiti again and will be working very hard to treat and see as many people as we can. And of course we will be staying with our favorite friends at the boys orphanage and will be hosting a party for both the boys and girls! I can't wait to hug my favorite little ones again and tell them how much I've missed them! Please take a peak at this link to find out more about my mission trip: http://www.dezmanfleuryfoundation.com.  We have had several fundraisers and can now proudly say that the medical clinic that was rubble after the earthquake and in the process of being rebuilt during our last trip in March is now complete! I have "before" pictures and can't wait to take the "after" pictures to show the process when we get back! Although there is some progress in Haiti, there still is so much devastation and tent cities everywhere! I am trying to figure out how to add my snapfish album on here so you can see what Haiti looks like more then a year after the earthquake...not much improvement. It is very sad.

Right now I am busily preparing for my trip! I am gathering the gifts and treats for the children in the orphanage and we are trying to get all of our medicines and supplies together. The clinics we have are all free to the people and we hand out tons of medicines to treat their illnesses. Sometimes we just give simple things like vitamins or a pregnancy test, things we take for granted.  Below is a list of items we still need that are over the counter type of medicines. Please take a look at the list and let me know if you can help donate any of these! This trip I am also welcoming any donations towards my trips expenses. To donate to my cause simply click on the "donate" button at the top left of this page. Any donations received will help with the cost of my flight, supplies, medicines, and gifts for the kids. Any donations above this I will give back to the medical clinic (we are still about $1,000 short of what we stated we would give to rebuild it) and/or toward the children in the boys and girls orphanages. If you'd rather donate straight to the Dezman Fleury Foundation instead of on here to me, you can use the link I provided above. All donations are tax deductible.

"You must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give. Don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves the person who gives cheerfully. And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, Godly people give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will never be forgotten." 2 Corinthians 9:7-9
