Details:  Raising money for Haiti, 100% of the proceeds received for dental services on January 30, 2010 and February 6, 2010 will be donated to help rebuild ELCH (Evangelical Lutheran Church of Haiti).  

 

In response to the Haiti disaster, Dr. Antolak and his long time friend, Dr. Apsey of Warren, along with several other volunteer assistants, will be offering dental services to local residents who need dental care.  At the same time, would like to help the earthquake victims. Services offered will be: Cleanings, x-rays, fillings, extractions, root canals, crowns and bridges and other general dental services. 

 

Donation checks will be made to Faith Lutheran Church and are considered tax deductible.  Those contributing will receive receipts from the church. The suggested donation for services will be based on our normal fee schedule.   Dr. Antolak can personally guarantee that 100% of the funds raised will go to where they are supposed to go. He has been serving in Haiti for nine years and know the pastors there personally and communicate with them on a regular basis.


Dr. Antolak was planning to leave for Haiti on January 21, along with 23 members of Faith Lutheran Church in Troy and members of other area churches.  They planned to share the love of Jesus Christ through a soccer clinic, working with an orphanage, and performing dentistry to over 250 people who don't have access to dental care. 

 

Unfortunately, the trip had to be cancelled because of the earthquake.  This would have been Dr. Antolak's ninth visit to Les Cayes, Haiti; which is on the southwest coast of the country.  Fortunately the dental clinic and church, where he has served for 8 years, sustained only minor damage.  Faith Lutheran Church has been working alongside the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Haiti (ELCH) for the last nine years.  However, an ELCH church, about 80 miles east of Les Caynes, was completely destroyed in the quake. The ELCH church will not receive any aide from outside public sources to rebuild, therefore direct private fundraising donations are necessary. 

 

Thank you in advance for your support!!
