Even after a year of restoration and relief efforts working to manage the catastrophic effects of the Haitian earthquake disaster, the residents and families of Haiti continue to struggle to reestablish their lives and national infrastructure. It is important to continue relief efforts to help an already economically depressed area of the world climb back from an unfortunate disaster.

RooterMD Plumbing in Livonia, MI has identified an organization called Children’s Lifeline that makes it possible for the people of Metro Detroit to make a practical, effective contribution to relief efforts in Haiti. Communities of Metro Detroit can make contributions to this locally organized relief effort by donating new or gently used sandals, Crocs or other warm climate footwear to your local RooterMD Plumbing technician or at our Livonia, MI location. The donated shoes will be packed in suitcases and flown to Children’s Lifeline in Haiti and personally administered to those in need by mission workers. Shoe donations will be accepted by RooterMD Plumbing until October of 2011.

Pete Wood, owner and president of RooterMD Plumbing, has planned two trips to Haiti to assist this process providing missionary work and relief support. Pete will be leaving in June 2011 and again in October of 2011 to donate time and support to the people and relief effort in Haiti. Pete will represent Metro Detroit during his visit personally working to help the families and individuals in need in any way possible.

RooterMD Plumbing and Children’s Lifeline encourage individuals and business owners of the Metro Detroit community to donate shoes to this effort and help make a significant contribution to the relief effort in Haiti.
