Crutches To Haiti Ships to Haitian Amputees
Feb. 16, 2010 - Crutches To Haiti today sent its first semi trailer load of crutches, canes, walkers, wheelchairs and leg braces to the amputees of Haiti. Scheduled to arrive in two weeks, the shipment is being consolidated with tents and other needed supplies and flown directly to Port-au-Prince from Sanford International Airport.
Nationwide Pizza Challenge
Four brothers who run a small, Dallas-area pizza chain called
i Fratelli Pizza jumped at the opportunity to lend a hand to a Crutches To Haiti project headed up by Rick Hawkins of Lake Highlands, Texas. And they're providing more than expected. Not only has i Fratelli opened its doors for the crutch drive, the restaurant chain is offering a free cheese pizza for every pair of crutches and orthopedic boots and each walker or wheelchair dropped off at any of its 10 area stores through Sunday Feb. 28.
Crutches To Haiti issues a nationwide challenge to other pizza chains to perform a similar charitable drive to benefit Haitian amputees.
