Port St. Lucie man travels to Haiti with supplies and food for locals

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. —

As so many people scrambled to leave Haiti, a Port St. Lucie man fought to get himself back in.

Meschac St Amour is a native Haitian who now lives on the Treasure Coast.

He is the president of a Port St. Lucie organization called Habitat for Children Ministries, which serves children in Haiti.

St Amour was able to get a missionary flight to Haiti on Tuesday, expecting the worst when he landed.

He said he still wasn’t prepared for what he found.

“It’s much worse than what I was thinking,” he said.

St Amour brought with him supplies for the country, including 1,500 pounds of food.

He is carefully giving it away where it’s most needed, though he had planned to share it with everyone.

“It can’t work like that. That’s what we were hoping,” St Amour said. “But it can’t work like that. Because right now, you’re going to start something you can’t finish.”

St Amour said his village is far away from the Haitian capital of Port au Prince.

That’s where the majority of the violence has been over the last several weeks.

St Amour said there’s no violence where he is, but they are still suffering.

“A shortage of food, gas,” he said. “Anything you can think of to feed a family.”

St Amour said most people are unable to find medicine or medical care.

These shortages are why he left the Treasure Coast to return to Haiti.

He said he wants to help however he can until Haiti can once again recover.

“Haiti is not going to die,” he said. “There’s some that are going to believe in it, and some that are not going to believe. But I believe one day, Haiti is going to come back.”

St Amour is asking those who want to help to do so through his organization’s website.

We will be holding our annual charity dinner and fund-raising event on FRIDAY , (new day) February 9, 2024, from 6 PM till 10 PM at the Barn at Oleander 6851 Oleander Ave in Port St. Lucie,

Family Meals, Inc. was launched to help Treasure Coast families understand the importance and value of sharing family meals. We do this by providing meal ingredients, and table-talk materials to help the working poor prepare and enjoy family celebrations for three special occasions throughout the year. Uncooked meals are delivered to the doors of those families so they may prepare the meals themselves, in the privacy of their homes, allowing them dignity and respect they deserve.

As we continue to grow, it is important that we have adequate funding to underwrite our programs.

To help us offset expenses as the community needs grow please help us by attending this gala.
