Cholera is hitting the remote regions of Haiti too. Currently Aid for Haiti has a remote medical team of doctors in the mountains of central Haiti. They report widespread cholera death and disease in this region. Working out of Potino, a small village, they have seen and treated multiple serious cases of cholera. One case in particular sticks out. 
“She was the sickest person I have ever seen” Dr. Caleb, who worked throughout the earthquake aftermath, said about one woman who staggered into the clinic yesterday”. Four of her close family have died in these mountains in the last week without being able to find medical treatment. The hospitals of Cange and Mirabalis, only 30 miles away are much to far to reach on foot when suffering from a disease that can take life in a matter of hours. “We gave her 4 liters of IV fluid in an hour”, “She showed up with no radial pulses and seemingly dying until she was able to walk out days later” said Dr. Caleb. This underscores a chronic problem that Aid for Haiti has been trying to address in these remote regions.
Please join us in prayer for the people effected by this terrible disease. Please also consider financially supporting us during this time of need.
