Dear ROMP supporters and volunteers,
I have received daily inquiries about how to help in Haiti. Back in 2005 I had the opportunity to volunteer with the Healing Hands for Haiti Foundation. HHHF is a wonderful rehabilitation project that acted as one of the two primary providers of O&P services for all of Haiti. Tragically, their clinic was completely destroyed by the recent earthquake. ROMP is committed to helping HHHF in any way possible. This will include sending volunteer teams and donated components. Due to the destruction of the HHHF infrastructure it is currently impossible to provide prosthetic device in Haiti. I will let all of our supporters and volunteers know of opportunities in Haiti as soon as I receive word from the HHHF directors. In the meantime, I encourage everyone to stockpile prosthetic and orthotic parts and send them to ROMP clearly labeling them as "Haiti Supplies" we will ensure that they are processed and ready to go whenever it becomes possible to work in Haiti again.
Thank you all for your willingness to help after this horrible tragedy. Please stay in touch and forward this message to anyone who may be asking about Haiti.
David Krupa, CP
CEO - ROMP
