Here is a very insightful blog from one of the three permanent veternarian missionaries in Haiti with the Christian Veternarian Mission. This blog is from Kelly Crowdis and is a first-hand description of conditions is Haiti. She has been in Haiti for a long time. Kelly was a veternarian here in Lynchburg, Va with the emergency vet clinic and was on of the most compassionate, caring Vets I have met. The selfish side of me wishes she would set up a practice here. http://vetmissions.blogspot.com/ Here is excerpt from her blog with reference to donations: As far as sending money the best thing would be to send it through CVM - Christian Veterinary MIssion, they have a special Haiti fund set up. The money will be used for a variety of things - mostly people related as right now there are not that many animal problems. CVM's address is 19303 Fremont Ave North Seattle, WA, 98133 just mark it for Haiti. Money is the best thing for now. Supplies will be needed but the logistics right now are hard.
