Help for Haiti - Crutches & Tents


With all of the recent amputations and other injuries, the people of Haiti are in desperate need of crutches, canes, and walkers. 


There is also a HUGE need for tents - we will also collect tents and work with aHomeinHaiti.org to deliver them. You can also purchase new tents and donate them directly through aHomeinHaiti.org on their website.


We have contacts in Haiti ready and anxious to receive this donated equipment. Please help!


Please check your attics, garages, basements... ask friends, relatives, neighbors... 


You can drop off crutches, canes, walkers, and tents at

Food For Haiti Now Project


Food For Haiti Now


Help us feed 300,000 people in Haiti!

We need your help - we are preparing to launch a project that will feed over a quarter of a million people. 


What can you do to help? 


Bake sale, charity game, walk-a-thon, penny drive, you name it... and we would love your help!


The cost of a family going out to a restaurant ONE TIME is enough to feed a family of SIX for an entire MONTH.


Please contact us for more information. To send $, please make checks payable to "BonaResponds" with "Haiti" in the memo and mail to BonaResponds, Box BY, St. Bonaventure NY 14778


We are working out the details with an organization to run a full food packing event where we prepare the boxes of food in a major one-day event and, if possible, have the food distributed through Food for the Poor in Haiti. If for some reason we are unable to hold the event, all money donated will be given directly to Food for the Poor.
