Our Haiti Charity, Needs Your Help!
Tremendous amounts of food, first aid and necessities for every day living and hygiene are being purchased and gathered for transport. The need is now for EVERYONE, not just those associated with the school and mission. Please, donate now, ANY amount will be greatly appreciated, and 100% of funds received go directly to help Haiti.
Without the generous help of our donors, many people in Haiti, many children, will go without food, shelter, clothing, or medical attention. We are on the ground in the middle of the destruction providing relief to the suffering of hundreds and thousands of people. We are a small organization, but we make a big difference to hundreds of people in need in our communities in Haiti. Please help us to help haiti. Donate Now.
