Let’s turn GIVING TUESDAY into GIVING FOOD DAY! We already received an amazing matching gift of $4,000. Which means that your gift will be doubled, dollar for dollar!

Thanks to you, hundreds of Haitian young lives continue to be changed. And that's why I want to share some positive news with you. Yes, it is true, Haitians are living in fear and in danger. But Haitians are also real people, with real hopes and real dreams. And sometimes, these dreams come true!
