HELP US BUILD HOPE IN HAITI Today, more than 1.5 million Haitians remain homeless. Over a year after the earthquake that left 300,000 Haitians dead and 500,000 injured, mudslides and a cholera epidemic have added greatly to their suffering, and many more die every day. Indian River Habitat for Humanity has pledged to raise $120,000 to build 30 "core houses" in Haiti as part of Habitat International's efforts to serve 50,000 families in Haiti over the next five years.

Indian River Habitat lost one of its Best and Brightest last month with the Dec. 21, 2011 passing of Moorings resident and volunteer leader R. Bradford Burnham Jr., 90, whose charm, pursuasive gifts and dedication to the Habitat mission was responsible for many of the homes now housing Habitat families and for not only The Moorings but several other gated communities' decision to commit to the Habitat cause.
