| Haitian Orphans Need Your Help |
| Thursday, 21 January 2010 00:26 | |||
 Eddie Whittemore hasn't been able to get in contact with Green River Orphanage-- the orphanage he runs through mission work at Green River Pentecostal Church, since a massive aftershock hit Haiti Wednesday morning. “When I found out that happened, I am just so numb right now,” Whittemore said. The 17 children are under the care of the director. “Last we heard, he was getting up and making sure the orphans were okay, and then he was going out and digging out dead bodies trying to help others,” Whittemore said. The children have had one meal since the first quake hit. They are in desperate need of help. “If we don't send support, they starve. It’s not a part of a larger organization it's a small faith based orphanage,” Whittemore explained He’s in the process of adopting 6 year old Geraldine. Following the devastation, he’s hoping to bring them all to the US. “There would be no problem in finding them homes,” he said. But as he knows first hand--it was difficult even before to adopt from Haiti. "If anybody has ever tried to adopt from Haiti, it’s one of the hardest places to adopt from,” he said. Following the devastation it has become even harder. Whittemore isn’t positive he will still be able to adopt Geraldine, “You know all the records are gone, their infrastructure is gone, and their leadership is gone.” Whittemore has been trying to get in touch with legislators. In the meantime, he can’t help but notice every minute that goes by. “All I can think is, ‘is Geraldine eating? Is Julie eating? Is Jude eating? All of these children’s names start going through my head, he said. Whittemore plans on visiting Haiti in two weeks and bringing as much aide as possible. Donations to Green River Orphanage can be sent to; Green River Pentecostal Church 7330 Kentucky Highway 698 Hustonville, KY 40437 Or you can contact Eddie Whittemore at (606) 669-2824. http://www.greenriverpentecostalchurch.org/ Trackback ( 0 )
