Mt. Sterling Woman Collects 1,500 Lbs Of Peanut Butter For Haiti
MT. STERLING, KY -- (WTVQ) -- A woman from Mount Sterling has made it her mission to help the children in Haiti suffering from malnutrition get the protein they need by collecting peanut butter in her community.
Nurse Tara Young’s life was forever changed when she went on "Hugs from God Missions" first medical mission in Haiti over Memorial Day weekend. After seeing so many starving children living in poor conditions she said she felt guilty with the leftovers on her plate.
In less than four weeks she’s been able to collect about 1,500 pounds of peanut butter after connecting with more than 2,600 people on her Haiti Awareness Facebook Group. She says she’s hoping to send about 1,200 every month.
