Earthquake Relief: Donations, Prosthetic and Orthotic Aid for Haiti
Thank you for choosing to donate during this difficult time following the devastating earthquake. In POCC's effort to support Haiti, we have decided to work with Healing Hands for Haiti in this endeavor. This will help strengthen the coordinated effort to provide prosthetic care to those in Haiti. Together we can build something strong and sustainable.
If you and or your organization is seriously interested in assisting with Prosthetic & Orthotic humanitarian efforts in Haiti or anywhere, read and sign on to the P&O Code of Conduct for Humanitarian Organizations.
If you have componentry, new or used prostheses, fabrication materials or equipment you can help by sending donations to:
MedShare International
c/o P.O.C.C.
3240 Clifton Springs Road
Decatur, GA 30034
What you send will be sorted and organized by students and volunteers from Georgia Tech's MSPO program. Your donation will be able to aid the efforts in Haiti. You or your organization will receive a tax deductible receipt once the donation has been processed. We thank you in advance for any donations.
