The Makeshift Couch

As many of you know, the Lord has blessed us with a new home. With a new home comes new needs. Most of the furniture we had has gone to the children's home and the adoption home. There are several household items we are in dire need of. The first and most important being an inverter system. Let me explain... The average daytime temperature (during the summer) is 108* and the average nighttime temperature is 95*. Our home is one story with the bedrooms in the middle of the house. There is no air circulation in the house, making being in the house very difficult and sleeping almost unbearable. The inverter system will allow us to run floor fans/ceiling fans throughout the hottest part of the day, as well as at night, allowing plenty of air circulation. The next item on our list, also a major need, is a refrigerator. We are not able to keep anything cold at the house, including ice, cold drinks, certain foods, etc. Both the inverter system and the refrigerator can be bought in Haiti for a total of $2,400 US. It is cheaper this way because we are able to avoid shipping and customs costs.

The remaining items we need are as follows: a kithcen table and chairs for 6 (this can be made in Haiti for around $400 US), 5 ceiling fans, couch (note the photo above) and chairs for two rooms (we have a tv room and a sitting room), a twin bed for Willy, a trash can for outside and a trash can for the kitchen, a good size cutting board, and mixing bowls with lids.

Once again, we are asking for your help. We are not too picky. Things do not need to be brand new. If you know someone who is giving away any of these items or would like to help a missionary family, this is one of the best ways at the present moment.
