Help build homes in Haiti…

ammanion — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:21:02 +0000

The Fuller Center will build homes in Haiti in partnership with Lazarian World Homes–beginning as early as March.

Lazarian World Homes designed a 16′x16′ home using styrofoam blocks, concrete and rebar that can be built for less than $3,000. The house forms will be assembled in the Dominican Republic at a plant Lazarian World Homes already has established there.

Encourage your friends or church to sponsor a home in Haiti.

Hero Miles

The program is comprised of individual airlines whose passengers donate their frequent flyer miles to assist service members and their families. Specifically, Fisher House Foundation provides free airline tickets to military men and women who are undergoing treatment at a military or VA medical center incident to their service in Iraq or Afghanistan, and their families.

There are two categories of eligible recipients:

Service men and women with an approved leave of five or more days may be given a free round trip airline ticket for a trip from the medical center to their home and return if they are not eligible for government funded airfare.
Qualifying service men and women may be given free round trip airline tickets to enable their family or close friends to visit them while they are being treated at the medical center.
