Houston, TX
January 17, 2010 – Frank McKinney and his non-profit
organization CHPF are so much more than just a charity
providing homes for the people of Haiti – they offer
hope and the means to become self-sustaining, thus
allowing the people to retain their dignity. Well-known
for creating multi-million dollar real-estate
masterpieces, McKinney also ‘gives back’ by making
generous donations to this worthy cause from the sale of
these mansions.
Since all non-military flights were being denied access
into Port-au-Prince, McKinney and his team of doctors,
paramedics, firefighters and other team members
specifically trained in search, rescue and extraction
techniques, never gave up until they received clearance
to land, becoming the first American Emergency Relief
Team to arrive on the scene. They immediately set up
their site operations relief camp and have been working
diligently since their arrival last night, joining in
with fifteen other countries and international teams in
an organized relief effort.
Since speed is of the essence if lives are to be saved
in the critical search and rescue window of opportunity,
McKinney and his team will work towards obtaining
whatever supplies are needed but they cannot do this
alone – they desperately need your help in order to get
these people on their feet, their lives restored, and
their villages rebuilt.
McKinney has provided a list of the most necessary items
needed to aid the victims. These are:
1) Search, rescue and extraction equipment
2) Medical and triage supplies
3) Food, water and blankets
4) Communications (phone/video)
5) Manpower
6) Donations
McKinney and his team are appealing to Americans and
their inherent generosity to give whatever they can to
help the poor people of Haiti whose homes and entire
lives have been wiped out! Please go to
http://www.frank-mckinney.com/donate.aspx
for information on
donating, or call
1- 561-722-3950
1- 561-722-3950 . Any amount, no matter how small, will
be greatly appreciated in this mammoth effort to save
the live s of survivors of this catastrophe.
