"Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere and Ryan is going to work with an orphanage there and to help the locals build a protective wall around the facility."

A friend of mine and also a minister.  He is a big fan of the show, some of you donated when he did the polar plunge, and very generously. 

Follow his adventures.

Hey, guys!

I wanted to let you know I'm ok.  We left on Monday evening, less than 24 hours before the quake it.  This week has been extremely emotional and surreal.  Thank you for your thoughts!

I'm documenting my experience at haackgoestohaiti.blogspot.com

If you're so inclined, you can donate at thejourneycommunity.com.  All proceeds will go directly to rebuilding the orphanage we work with.  It collapsed in the quake, but miraculously, all 32 kids survived without injury.

Thanks for your thoughts and let me know if you have any questions!
Ryan

Glad to hear you're ok and that all the kids are safe.

Just wanted to give an update...

We had set our goal at $25,000 as that is our (very) preliminary estimate to the rebuilding costs.  So far, we've raise over $35,000!  Stunning.  We are beyond excited.  We're going to continue to raise money as we have no real idea how much it will actually cost, but wow...what a start.

Thank you to those who have donated already and if you'd like to give, please checkout:

Thanks, guys!
