Brittany MacMillan - Haiti Fundraiser
Posted by Bill van Asperen
Poverty is hard to ignore when it's all around you. And it's especially evident in the small town of Grand-Goâve Haiti. Ninety percent of the town was destroyed by the 2010 earthquake. Brittany MacMillan has been to the town twice to help build homes, and hand out food and clothing to people in need. She went with the organization Lifeline Christian Mission.
Now Britanny is fundraising to build a home for her sponsor child, and her family. People can also donate online through "Go Fund me".
