My name is Debbie Woodward and I manage the Northrup King Building in Minneapolis, MN, a humungous old warehouse built in 1917 and now home to the working studios of over 200 artists. 
When some people read the list of needs they had an “interesting” reaction to the inclusion of a bulldozer and backhoe. After all, how many of us have a spare bulldozer in the backyard that isn’t a Tonka Toy?
The truth is before the earthquake occured, God had been laying a plan for the Zachary family to expand their services. They have been in prayer about it for years. Last fall, a donor appeared that wanted to bless the Real Hope For Haiti ministry with 22 acres of land. The plans include a hospital, clinic, rescue center and depot. The land has been purchased and surveyed. See it here: http://haitirescuecenter.wordpress.com/page/9/
Zach has located the backhoe shown above and you can see how excited he is to get it into Haiti and get to work. He will also need a bulldozer and it is possible that someone out there will be able to help with this need. We all have a different walk in life. Some are hugely talented at sewing. Others, are knowledgeable about heavy equipment. We all have a way to participate in God’s work.
If you know someone that would be able to assist Real Hope For Haiti with their heavy equipment needs, please have them e-mail zach@realhopeforhaiti.org The need is for Caterpillar Equipment as that is the availability for parts and repair in Haiti.
