According to the fundraising page, donations will go towards sourcing supplies and funding the hospital.  

“For Phase 1 efforts, Jackboy and team will be ordering supplies and sending directly to a reputable charity located in Haiti,” the page reads. “Funds will be spent on orthopedic supplies, tarps for shelter, and the foundation of the hospital.” 

Speaking after seeing the conditions in Haiti first hand after a trip there Jackboy wrote: 

“I just walked through a hospital in Haiti and all the patients sleeping outside,” he wrote. “I personally handed every single last one of them a(n) envelope full of money but fr fr (for real) I feel like that ain’t enough. Who want to go to Haiti with me and get a hospital built. It’s not really that much especially if we use U.S. dollars. #PrayForHaiti.”  

Wyclef Jean recently called out the Biden Administration for the inhumane treatment of Haitians on the Texas border.
