On this Giving Tuesday, we’re sharing this video from our partner in Haiti, Kesnel Toussaint and humbly asking for your help. Life is very difficult for our kiddos at New Hope Orphanage. More difficult than ever. Gangs are running the streets of Haiti right now. They are kidnapping, setting up roadblocks, using violence to control neighborhoods and taking over gas stations which means it’s not even possible for many to go out. We’ve heard that it can cost as much as $20 USD for a gallon of gas. And you know what happens when gas prices are high…everything is more expensive. The cost of basic necessities - rice, beans, propane - is soaring. Our kids are back in school after they were closed down for 4 months but that’s about all they can do. We still owe school fees and many of them are attending class without the proper uniforms or books. On top of that, Christmas is coming and we would love to be able to give them a little celebration with some small gifts and a nice hearty meal. If you are looking for a organization to donate to today, we would love your support. Every single dollar will go to the children and to making their lives a little easier in these troubling times. We are a 501c3 non-profit, so every donation is also tax deductible. Thank you in advance for your consideration! 💕 Link to donate: http://zanmiproject.weebly.com/donate.html

We have an emergency need at the New Hope Orphanage. Several months ago, the well we had dug on the property dried up and stopped providing water. Since then, Edgard has had to travel long distances to purchase and bring water back for drinking, bathing, cooking, dishes, etc. As you can imagine, it is extremely tedious and expensive to get enough water for 20 people daily. He has found a team of men who can fix and clean the well to get back to working order...but it will cost us $550. If you’d like to help get these babies the most important thing they need...water...we’d so appreciate it! You can donate at this link and put “water” in the comments. Any amount helps (and is tax deductible)! Thank you so much! http://zanmiproject.weebly.com/donate.html
