Dear jay, One year ago today, a massive earthquake devastated Haiti, killing 250,000 people leaving more than 1 million people instantly homeless. As a member of the ARC community, you responded. You made it possible for us to have a relief team on the ground within 48 hours of the quake. Your support allowed us to get lifesaving medical care, medicine, shelter and supplies to survivors. And we’ve been able to continue assisting Haitians the last 12 months only because of your support. We’ve created this report to introduce you to just a few of the people you have touched and share with you the things we’ve accomplished together. I hope you’ll feel proud of what you made happen. Over the past year, we’ve been able to help more than 83,000 people get the daily essentials and services they need! Our goal in the coming year is to help Haitians begin living life again, not just surviving day-to-day. With the support of people like you, we know we can help survivors rebuild vibrant communities where they will thrive. Thank you for all your support! And please check out our report if you have a moment. Sincerely, -Daniel

P.S. In memory of the lives lost in Haiti one year ago, bells will ring around the U.S. and in Haiti at 4:53 ET/3:53 CT at city halls, schools and congregations. You can join us in remembrance by ringing your own bell, and you can learn more about "Bells for Haiti" and who's participating.
