To whom it may concern:

Hello, my name is Scott Miller, I had the privilege of meeting the founders of Helping Hands Ministries, Tony and Donna Haywood in 1999 when we were heavily involved in emergency relief efforts after hurricane Mitch. What a blessing their ministry was and still is to the people of Honduras.
Do you know that their ministry alone has shipped well over 210,000 POUNDS of humanitarian aid to Honduras? Mind you this aid is not just your ordinary garage sale stuff! No, we’re talking ambulances, hospital beds, medical equipment such as x-ray machines, school furniture and supplies, office furniture, computers, dental clinics, linens, and towels the list goes on and on. These things may seem like no big deal to the average person who is accustomed to going to the hospital and having an x-ray machine that actually works or a bed (with a sheet on it) to lie on. Or taking a trip to the dentist and having a REAL dental chair to sit in instead of a regular plastic chair where someone holds your head while the dentist pulls your tooth because he has no other equipment to fix teeth.

Helping Hands Ministry has not just sent down aid, no they have sent down a new quality of life for some of the people in Honduras. (I say some because there is still a vast area to cover) For example when our city received the ambulance that was sent by Helping Hands, the people were so excited because before the ambulance the only way to get someone to the hospital who had, been in an accident was by putting them in the back of a pickup truck or flagging a taxi. The people are proud of the equipment they are receiving therefore it boost their self esteem. That in itself is priceless when you work with people in a third world country.

It has not just been adults that have been on the receiving end but the children as well. We have been able to bless schools and orphanages with school supplies donated through Helping Hands Ministry. Please keep in mind these are like one room school houses. There are no books for the children; everything they must study has to be copied down from the black board. That’s a very difficult task for some when they can’t afford paper or pencil to write with. We could go on and on about the many blessing that have come to Honduras by way of Helping Hands Ministry. They have been a true blessing to us and the people of Honduras.

We do want to thank those of you who live in Moore County and the surrounding areas, who have in some way, either by tangible donations, money donations, or by giving time helping to pack things in the ministries ware-house.

Thank you for making these blessings possible to the people of Honduras.
If you have not supported this ministry we would ask that you prayerfully consider it because we know that Helping Hands Ministry could use a few more “helping hands”!

God bless you all,
Scott Miller
Note: Scott went home to be with the Lord in 2002 – The ministry remains strong under the guidance of Scott’s widow, Sandi and her husband, Pastor Currie Burgess.
