Please support our Fresh Start program!! Sidrs is proud to announce that
from now on we will be providing three schools with breakfast every day!!
In Haiti nothing is free. Parents can barely afford to even send their
children to elementary school and many go to school hungry! Hungry minds
simply cannot concentrate!
Our lovely donor the Gleaners has stepped up! And donated as much dried
fruit as we can move!
Each suitcase will hold 4500 meals! We need your help with shipping!! Air
Canada rates for oversized and overweight luggage is 230 Canadian per bag.
Sponsor a bag with your fellow co workers!! And list what group or
company and we will send you photos of these children benefiting from your
generosity!

Shelters International Disaster Response
is a completely volunteer based grassroots organization that helps
people recover from natural disasters.
We help people in many ways, from
reconstruction to cleaning wells to long term agriculture programs.
Last year our small group assisted
both Puerto Rico and Haiti simultaneously!!
We sent 1,300,000 meals and enough
seed to replant all of Puerto Rico to other volunteer groups like us
to distribute
For Haiti ... 60,000 people were fed
and over 400 farmers were given seed that will broaden not only the
spectrum of food available to them but give them a much higher
income as well . All organic non GMO seed !!
|
This year with a little help --- Your help!! we will feed over
3,000,000 people and get them on their feet through supplying seed
and teaching them how to get higher yields organically!!
Fuel for the farmers!!
What we need is funding for
logistics so we can deliver to areas that are in dire need of food
and a way to make a living.
.By helping us you will have helped
feed 3,000,000 people and help them grow their way to a brighter
future .
Everyone is needed! Whether it’s
coming to volunteer beside us or donating. Together we can be the
difference
Every dollar counts!!

Smaller is better as there’s no overhead and no board meetings. Just
getting people back on their feet!!

SIDRS is in desperate need for its own transport to get food,
supplies and seed throughout Haiti.
Rental fees are killing us
Please donate to help us help others
Update - Feb 2018
Puerto Rico
SIDRS has now delivered 1,350,000 meals to Puerto
Rico and has partners on the ground distributing the food and the seed to
all corners of the island!!
Below is Puerto Rico team and they’ve even started a
soup kitchen!!
Baguette, Haiti
The community of Baguette is cut off from roads,
leaving only a tiny foot path that takes hours to even seek medical
attention..extremely poor fishing village without even a school. Boat access
is always depending how rough the sea is. Knowing this place is remote and
rarely sees any assistance if any. Sidr sent a team over to distribute food.
As we are distributing food and seed and tools here
in Haiti. The time has come to get a reliable vehicle to reach communities
further afield. Rentals are cost prohibitive and not an effective use of
You, the donors, funds!! We have struggled for years renting pickups and
using our motorcycles as much as possible but now we have more to give and
no economical way to deliver it.
We seriously need a pickup of our own so that we can
do more!! Tree seedlings. Water purification systems and of course food.
And we can’t do it without you!!
Please donate!!
Update - December2017
Today I moved the last of the cargo to the staging area for shipment to
Haiti. And also felt the joy and relief of seeing our 1,350,000 meals be
shrink wrapped and immediately loaded on a container bound for Puerto
Rico!!
This shows the world how quickly small groups can be enormously effective in
disaster relief!! I’m actually feeling quite emotional now that this food is
loaded and on its way!! It’s been a long road and the humanity and kindness
these folks have shown this wee Canadian grassroots gal is amazing. Endless
gratitude and look forward to working together long term to make this world
a bit better !!
