SAMPLE LETTER to share (Modified from another Haiti Mission)
Dear (fill in the name of your representative),
As one of your constituents, I believe that God appoints leaders to govern nations, and I respect the stewardship of your office. Your words carry immense weight as one with significant influence in the U.S. government. I am one of thousands of Americans who support one of the estimated 10,000 NGOs and missions in Haiti. I am urging you today, to consider extending aid to the people of Haiti who are suffering from merciless acts of violence.
Since the assassination of President Moise on July 7, 2021, Haiti has plunged into a state of disarray with no stable government in place. The absence of publicly elected officials has left the country vulnerable and effectively operating as a failed state. The surge in gang activity has been marked by horrific violence, including kidnappings, rapes, looting, and murders. This situation has forced many families to flee their homes.
The people of Haiti do not deserve to live like this. No one does. I support military intervention, UN operation, or at least a contracted force that can help to restore order. I am not requesting the United States solve the crisis, but rather, to lend a hand in creating a peaceful environment.
As human beings, we are all created in the image of God, and it's our moral obligation to stand up for those who have been silenced. I implore you to take action and be a voice for the voiceless, to provide the Haitian people with the hope they desperately need.
Thank you.
SHARE WITH OTHERS in your sphere of influence to do the same.
