If you've been following our story you know that this opportunity would not exist without Dr. Laborde. Not only did he coordinate obtaining this ambulance 🚑 for us to pack full of supplies but he also flew ✈️ to Haiti during this pandemic to receive the ambulance and make sure it made it to its final destination 🇭🇹

The post below documents Dr. Laborde officially handing over the ambulance to the Mayor!

When the travel bans went up we were crushed to hear that we could not go to Haiti as originally planned. Not only were we missing an excellent learning opportunity and a chance to contribute to the health of a community, but the supplies we had fundraised for were stuck in the US with us ☹️ after MONTHS of hard work by our mentor, Dr Laborde, he was finally able to coordinate the safe passage of this beautiful ambulance 🚑 packed with PPE 🧤
While we won’t be traveling with it as stowaways (we asked) we are finally able to see over a year’s worth of work pay off and help those in need, which was always our primary goal 🇭🇹

On this day in 2010, a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake struck Haiti, killing an estimated 200,000 Haitians and affecting the lives of more than 3,000,000 people. The earthquake and the subsequent aftershocks destroyed nearly 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings. Haiti and its people continue to feel the effects of the tragedy to this day -- economically, infrastructurally and emotionally.

Below is a video breaking down how humanitarian organizations implement a disaster response.
