Haiti Hospital Resurrection Fund Applauds US Congress for Swift Passage of Tax Incentive for Haiti

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 22, 2010 -
Reston, VA, January 21, 2010: The Haiti Hospital Resurrection Fund (HHRF) today announced its support for action taken by the US Congress to provide Americans with additional incentive to support the tremendous needs in Haiti.
“This measure encourages Americans to give to the Haitian recovery effort immediately,” said Brandon Graham, Founder and President of HHRF. “There are many potential donors who have been on the fence about donating to this incredibly important cause, and this action provides an incentive and additional motivation to those who may be considering whether or not to donate. Our mission is to rebuild the Haitian hospital and medical infrastructure in the wake of last week’s earthquake disaster, and we are reliant upon the unselfish generosity of the American people to help us meet our goals.”
Earlier this week, HHRF announced its strategic partnership with Project C.U.R.E. that will allow the two groups to work together toward a common goal of rebuilding hospitals and providing much needed medical infrastructure. The passage of this law will allow both organizations to continue providing much needed medical assistance to the people of Haiti.
"Together with Haiti Hospital Resurrection Fund, Project C.U.R.E. will fully outfit new medical facilities in the country to support and/or replace those damaged or destroyed in the earthquake. The people of Haiti need our assistance right now, and we are working hard to provide them relief," said Dr. Douglas Jackson, president and CEO of Project C.U.R.E.
