What if you didn't have a place to go if you were hurt, sick, pregnant or dying?
		Could you tell these kids not to scrape their knees, because tetanus shots are not available to protect them from this endemic and deadly toxin?
	Could you tell her that her mother will die, because there is no insulin for her diabetes?
	Life has not been kind to Haitians since the earthquake and cholera entered their lives. The medical aftershocks continue to rock their world relentlessly and claim their victims. In the wake of the earthquake, CRUDEM raised over $4 million in relief funds and over $20 million of donated supplies. Unlike other organizations, all of the money went to Haiti, to support Hôpital Sacré Coeur in Milot. Then, Haiti's plight disappeared from headline news, so did the bulk of the donations. But, the patients keep coming. The demand for services escalates. Donations have returned to pre-earthquake levels, but the hospital's budget has almost doubled. The gap hurts: literally. For over 25 years CRUDEM/Hôpital Sacré Coeur has remained committed to the Haitian people. We will not desert them now. But we desperately need your help.
	We do not want to turn the injured or sick away. We do not want people in pain going without medications. We don't want newborns delivered at home, without the presence of a skilled birth attendant; their umbilical cords cut with an unsterile or even rusty kitchen knife. Hôpital Sacré Coeur remains one of the finest, tertiary care hospitals in Haiti; a government recognized reference hospital and a sought after clinical site for nursing education and medical school rotations. We have a proven capacity and a solid track record of healthcare excellence.
	What we don't have right now are enough funds to meet the increased demand. In order to continue our unbroken record of meeting the healthcare needs of the 250,000 people in the north of Haiti, we ask you to join with us in closing the deadly financial gap by donating: $1 a day for 30 days. What's $1 a day? Less than you spend on a cup of coffee. Less than a pack of gum costs you. How far does a $1 go in Haiti? $25 = Delivery of a baby $50 = Cataract removal $90 = Club foot repair $137.50 = Appendectomy $150 = C-Section $111 provides clean water for the hospital for a week $1500 = Haitian Physician's Salary for one month Just a $1 a day…how tough is that?
