HAITI...


FormulaOneLife Flight Attendants Mary Beth Lavin, Andrea Branas & Summers Doonan in Haiti, July 2010


Formula One Life just got back from an intense first mission trip to Haiti... Continental flight attendants Mary Beth Lavin and Andrea Branas and American Airlines flight attendant Summers Doonan just returned from Port au Prince where they hand delivered over $2500.00 of formula and powdered milk (worth nearly $5000.00 in Haiti where formula is $43/can!) to two orphanages in need: Maison des Enfants de Dieu (see video below) and God's Littlest Angels with a combined 60 infants along with many more children of all ages. As always, the children were precious beyond words but literally crying out for more individual attention and love. Every toddler or child we held would cling to us and refuse to put their feet back on the ground when it came time to put them back down... which was not easy for us either!

To all our donors who made this trip possible, thank you for sending us to serve and hold in our arms some of God's 'littlest angels' ...who are some of our littlest and closest neighbors in need...

Awesome News!!!

I am so thrilled to share this incredible news with everyone-- Continental Airlines inflight magazine is doing an article on Formula One Life for their August edition!! I just got the call this weekend from the reporter writing the story! When I asked him how he heard about us, he traced an email link to my former Base Director in Newark who apparently forwarded news of our Ethiopia mission to the right people!! The impact her simple act of kindness could have is immeasurable... I was so amazed at the thought of how many passengers might read our story during the busiest travel month of the year (!) that I couldn't resist Googling Continental Magazine's readership ;)... Are you ready for this??? ...(drum roll please :) ...2.4 MILLION!!!! That's including Asia, India, Europe and all of the Americas!! Wow... Thank you everyone for all your amazing support which has led to this point of immeasurable blessing... God bless you all!!!
