Involve
huge plans…huge needs
Connecting People.
Connecting Resources.
All support is welcome and would be so beneficial. There are many different ways to get involved. Below is a list of how you can support the mending of Haiti. Please do not hesitate to email or ask questions at info@truelovelive.org
Uniform Polo Shirts
This summer True Love Live wants to ship polo shirts to Haiti. These 200 royal-blue youth shirts will go directly to the students out in Camp Canaan. It is Haitian culture for students to wear a uniform to school, but for parents who struggle to get food for their children, a school uniform is the last things on their list. As Gospel Fire continues in their second year of education, in the tent city, they desire to continue making a lasting impact on the community… education is this lasting impact.[200 Polo Shirt Cost: $520]
Shipping School Supplies
Ask any educator…in order to teach supplies are crucial BUT very expensive. A creative teacher in California, Tina Gerstenberg, asked all her fellow teachers if at the end of the year they had slightly used or new school supplies they could donate to Camp Canaan. So many people donated and now True Love Live needs your help to ship these supplies to Florida in order to get to Haiti. Consider yourself to be apart of this process to help bring education out to this tent city. [Shipping Cost: $200]
Support Teacher Salaries
True Love Live desires to continue to support the salaries of the teachers out in Camp Canaan. This first year there was 167 students attending Gospel Fire School with 9 full-time teachers, 2 kitchen aids, and 1 maintenance/guard. Teaching is one of the most important jobs in the world because it is preparing the next generation. You can help raise the generation of children out of poverty by supplying local jobs and local education. [1 Teacher Salary Cost per month: $60]
Sarah Support
Last and Least…Sarah Carlson, logistics coordinator, has been living in Haiti for a year and will be returning for another. As she returns for her 2nd school year teaching 7th grade in Haiti, she would be VERY thankful for any help with her monthly needs (phone bill, groceries, etc.).
Also, buying a vehicle in Haiti would be able to help Sarah and True Love Live CONNECT PEOPLE AND CONNECT RESOURCES. Haiti’s poor form of public transportation and the difficult roads makes getting around very difficult without a vehicle.
ONE NIGHT ONE WELL
ONE NIGHT ONE WELL the purpose is exactly that: in ONE NIGHT of music, videos, and demonstration people responded to the lack of clean water out in Camp Canaan and helped to raise support for ONE WELL. True Love Live is lucky to team up with Generosity Water who has been gracious to respond and continue their pursuit to give water to those who don’t have any.

The Flyer
On May 14, 2010, TRUE LOVE hosted “Music with a Purpose” at Antioch Church and Coffeehouse in Newhall, CA.
The night consisted of music by Train Ticket Home, Nate Hanson, Kevin Lamos and Carly Escoto, as well as spoken word by Nathan Virto. Members of True Love also gave a presentation on the situation in Haiti as they prepared to go back to spread hope and love through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The goal of “Music with a Purpose” was to inform local believers to the suffering and struggle of the Haitian church, all to raise support and funds to empower the church overseas to bring the gospel to their community.
All in all, over $300 was raised purely from donations. Traveling expenses, as well as room and board for TRUE LOVE members were taken care of, which means 100 % of money given went towards buying backpacks for Haitian children. From one night alone, 49 children received backpacks, chock full of school supplies and much-needed Bibles.
“Music with a Purpose” included musical performances by Train Ticket Home, Nate Hanson, Kevin Lamos and Carly Escoto, as well as spoken word by Nathan Virto.
