Your prayers are not merely support; they are essential to our children’s well-being. Despite the chaos around them, the children are growing, learning, and discovering joy in everyday life, nurtured by the love within our children’s home.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Meet Our Family” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23815805″ css=””][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”205711″ img_size=”large” css=””][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1737157128556{padding-top: 15px !important;}”]We are currently blessed to have 15 wonderful children as part of our family. Each child is unique, bringing their laughter, talents, and dreams into our home. With proper guidance and support, we are convinced that these children will grow up to be confident and productive individuals.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Your sponsorship gives hope to our children. They thrive on knowing that they “belong” to someone. They will look for you every time a volunteer van arrives at the children’s home. They will call you “Manmi” or ‘Papi.” The hope that you bring to them as a sponsor is worth far more than the paper check you sign your name to or the Zelle you send every month.

Christmas for any child is one of the most special times of the year. It is a season of love and sharing.

We’ve designed a special page for our child sponsors to gain exclusive access (using their email address) to receive exclusive updates on their sponsored child. A digital place to post special messages to each other, including photos, drawings, cards, and letters.

She has taken on the incredible responsibility of overseeing daily activities and ensuring the smooth running of our home. Her compassion and dedication are truly inspiring, and we recently celebrated her 19th birthday this past July. It’s heartwarming to see her embrace this role with grace and maturity.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”205724″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border” css=””][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1737159903400{padding-top: 15px !important;}”]We are also profoundly grateful for the unwavering support and commitment of our administrator, Jean-Louis Delouis. His phenomenal work managing the home has been a cornerstone in ensuring that every child’s needs are met with care and precision.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1737159358655{padding-top: 15px !important;}”][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”How You Can Help” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23815805″ css=””][vc_column_text css=””]We invite you to continue being a part of this incredible journey.

Thanks to our wonderful family at Valley Family Church who blessed Our Small Community with the most wonderful vehicle.

Because of this amazing blessing, we have been able to take our children to outings every other Sunday afternoon. The first Sunday we went to “Champs de Mars” to listen to music and have ice cream. Nick is now able to go to his medical appointments without stress of bad weather, and of course we are able to save money on food by shopping at the big street market in Port-au-Prince, and get other items such as charcoal from the South.

Our hearts are filled with emotions of gratitude and humility.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2473″ img_size=”large” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_custom_heading text=”PREPARING FOR THIS YEAR’S CHRISTMAS” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23eceb73″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1509924348387{padding-top: 15px !important;}”]Christmas for any child is one of the most special times of the year. It is a season of love and sharing. It is a season that people go the extra mile to do extraordinary things for themselves like buying new clothes, shoes, bags etc.
The unfortunate part is that not everyone has the pleasure or joy to enjoy this festive season because of the circumstances they find themselves in.

We are hosting a holiday party entitled “Christmas Under the Stars” for our children at KTFN, and invite 30 orphans and children from distressed families an opportunity to join our Small Community of Family in Haiti as we celebrate the birth of Christ with gift sharing, delicious food and lots of goodies.

Can we count on you to help make this the best Christmas for some of the most vulnerable children in the Caribbean?

Despite hurricanes Irma and Maria disrupted our scheduled Back to School Service Trip, our relentless volunteers saw to it that the children from Our Small Community of Family we were equipped for their 2017-2017 school year. We give praise to God for Gina and Chris, volunteers from our faithful partner Airline Ambassadors, who came down after the hurricanes to bless our children. A day after they left, our very own Manmie Cindy and Manmie Anna made sure we had enough school supplies to bless those needy children of our community and topped off their trip with ice cream and cake for everyone. We all had a blast![/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
