thanks for all the prayers!

Just got this from Kim the nurse at the orphanage...will write more when she writes me back:

"david talked to mike-- he is on his way. we went to pap today and talked with the university of miami team that has set up a hospital-- they were pretty well covered.

Message from Leo

Dear friends and family,

In a few minutes, I'll begin my trip to Haiti. I wanted to send a quick message to everyone that has contributed to this relief effort. In my 4 duffle bags (packed with medications and supplies) and in my heart (filled with hope and energy) I carry a little piece of each and every one of you. I am an extension, of your goodwill and am humbled by your generosity. I will take with me all your wishes, thoughts and prayers and will deliver them to the poor people of Haiti.

Together we will be saving many lives, healing hundreds of wounds and touching the lives of thousands.

Take care,

Leo
