Sponsor A Child

We deeply appreciate those wanting to help by sponsoring a child.  We are not, for the time being, processing new sponsorships of children. We are focusing all or our energies and resources on the immediate cause of assisting in the relief efforts. We look forward to reopening the sponsorship program as soon as it is viable to do so.  Thank you and God bless.

A Message from our President PDF Print E-mail

To Our Supporters,

Over the last few weeks we have been overwhelmed by the compassion of individuals, churches, and businesses, from across the country and around the world. The fatalities in Port-au-Prince (PAP) now exceed 230,000. Those displaced from their homes, the sick and injured, and the growing amount of orphaned children are too many to number.

Hope for Haiti's Children (HFHC) has responded and will continue to do so. An emergency medical team was sent to PAP to assist our Program Director in helping the injured, especially our sponsored children and families. They were able to treat more than 1,200 people.

We have wired funds to Haiti so food, water, and needed supplies can be distributed. In addition to our orphanage at Cazeau, two other orphanages in the PAP area have been targeted for assistance. These orphanages were seriously affected by the quake and have little or no outside support. We will do what we can to help them survive.

It is important to recognize that the need for basic supplies and medical assistance will not end any time soon. HFHC is committed to taking care of the orphans and the sponsored children and their families for as long as we are needed. We were working with Haiti’s children before the earthquake and God willing, we will be there long after the rest of the world moves on to the next crisis.

We Have a Three Phase Approach to Crisis Relief

Phase One: Assessment and Emergency Care, 4 weeks
This first phase was initiated immediately after the quake struck. A medical team and an HFHC Board member were sent to assist the injured and to assist our Program Director with assessment. A plan was put together for meeting the immediate needs of our orphans, sponsored children, and their families with medical support and the necessary staples required for survival.

Phase Two:  Support and Distribution, 6 months
We will do all we can to locate and support each of our 794 sponsored children. To date over 725 have been found. We will distribute food and supplies to the orphanages and to the sponsored children and their families to help them through these next very difficult months.

Phase Three:  Shelter and Long Term Consideration, 1 year
HFHC is still developing its longer range goals. Undoubtedly many of these families will need assistance to find and afford permanent housing. We will partner with other relief agencies, as we are able to, asking their help with the massive effort of rebuilding homes and suitable shelter for the families dispossessed by the quake.

Again, thank you very much for your kindness and compassion. We will keep you informed as our plans develop. Your generosity is making these efforts possible.

God Bless,

Rick Fyffe, President

Who Are We?

 

Hope for Haiti's Children(HFHC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 1995 to educate and care for the impoverished children in Haiti.  We are meeting their needs through an education sponsorship program, health care services, orphan care, and crisis relief efforts.

 

HFHC is changing the lives of impoverished children, one child at a time. This change is realized by restoring hope, by giving dignity through education, and by daily demonstrations of God’s loving compassion. We hope the time you invest in learning about this ministry will touch your heart and move you to action.

Notes on the Ground

This week we were able to get food distributed to the Delmas & Cazeau children on Monday. A few more of the Cite Soleil children came by too. Kerlande, Judith, Lourdine, Katheline, Musset, Gusman, Silionor, Jeff, and Fales all helped divide the rice, beans, oil, sardines, spaghetti and tomato paste into bags for the distribution. Some of the younger children helped by separating out toiletries that my mom and sisters had collected in Vero Beach and shipped via MFI a week ago. Each of the kids who came by on Monday got the large bag of food staples, a toiletry bag with toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion, a granola bar and pack of crackers.

 

20100215fooddistributionsmallTuesday, Jean Baptiste and I went and picked up David Senatus and his father. We all went to the embassy to try to get David’s medical visa. It was late when we got there – 11 AM – and when we got there they had closed for the day already. So we made our plan to meet back at the embassy at 6 AM the next morning.

 

It was strange to go home in the middle of the day, but I did for an hour or so to get some things caught up (correspondence, organizing, etc) until it was time to go meet with Captain Doyle of the 82nd Airborne.  This meeting was simply to hand over paperwork proving that we are a non-profit organization and for me to sign a claim from the accident Tim had last week with the monster army vehicle.

 

Wednesday morning we were all in line by 6 AM at the US Embassy. We stood in line a little over 2 hours and then got to the head of the line to be interviewed (outside the embassy) by a consular officer to determine if we would be allowed inside. We were denied. One of our board members has contacted a senator to try to get this surgery pushed through. The senator has supposedly sent the letter to the embassy.   Now we wait.
