Container with supplies for Haiti unloaded 4 years later

WALKER, Mich. (WOOD) — A shipping container of relief supplies that went missing for more than four years was unloaded on Saturday by the organization who originally sent them.

After Haiti was struck with a devastating earthquake in 2013, Rays of Hope International collected medical supplies and spent nearly $20,000 shipping them to Haiti.

That shipment never made it, causing frustration and confusion to the non-profit.

“It has been a nightmare, it has been a long process,” said director of Rays of Hope International, Kim Sorrelle. “Fortunately, we had a great lawyer who did most of (the work). He did a lot of it.”

Christopher Spain, an attorney for the Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge law firm, saw the need to help the organization find the supplies, and did it for free.
