​WHO EATS TODAY?

​Help ensure that Haitian children and families
​​don't have to make this ​devastating choice
during the COVID-19 crisis.

Yes, Count on me

​In times of uncertainty such as this, we see the best of our community emerge. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for all who have asked, "How can I help?" in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.

The best way you can help the most vulnerable in Haiti right now is by making a financial donation. Your gift during the COVID-19 crisis provides essential food and hygiene supplies for the most vulnerable children we serve. Every $1 you donate allows us to source four meals from our partners, for example.

Financial donations support our ability to respond to emergency needs for food, virus hygiene supplies & education, and medical care - most flexibly, as the first cases of COVID-19 are just being reported in Haiti today.

Here's what a donation can do:
$250 feeds 6 of our orphans for a month
$100 purchases soap & bleach cleaner for the orphanage and school for a month
$67 provides food for one child for a month

Establishing a recurring, monthly gift provides even more peace of mind that we will be able to continue to meet urgent needs in the coming weeks and months.​
​
Thank you for feeding children and fueling hope in this time of uncertainty.

Yes, count on me

Thank you Meal Packers!

New Life for Haiti would like to thank all the volunteers who attended our Meal Packing event on February 1st at LifeSpring Community Church in Plainfield! It's because of your dedication and support that we were able to pack 10,000 meals to feed our hungry Haitian brothers and sisters. This food will nourish many children, elderly, and families in the Grand Anse River Valley. We are forever grateful for our incredible community of volunteers who walk alongside the people of Marfranc! New Life for Haiti's next meal pack event will be on August 22, 2020 at Heritage Harbor in Ottawa, IL. Stay tuned on social media to register for that event later this spring.

Keeping Dreams Alive at the Village of Hope

Haiti has the second highest percentage of slavery

most vulnerable.

1 in 10 Haitian children are believed to be trafficked into forced begging or commercial sexual exploitation.

New Life for Haiti's Volunteer Spotlight:
Julie Wilson! 

This month's Volunteer Spotlight is Julie Wilson!

Julie Wilson first became involved with New Life for Haiti about 7 years ago. Her son-in-law, Neil Schori, asked her to come to Haiti on the medical team. She said, “At first, I told him no…I was too old, too everything, but he persisted. I caved and my life has not been the same since. I have been involved with New Life for Haiti as a medical missionary, a nurse on the medical team, but I also have engaged in child sponsorship, and loved helping with the shoe collection campaign.”

Julie became inspired by speaking with the founder of New Life for Haiti, Pastor Fran Leeman, on her first trip with the medical team. “He told me it's beginnings, it's story, it's vision. I found Fran to be the most inspiring, extraordinary leader I'd ever met. The whole experience came to me at a time that I was really having difficulty in church ministry. Fran helped me see the vision of the church and our life in ministry from a different perspective.”

Julie shared, “What I would tell anyone about volunteering or considering a mission trip, is simply JUST DO IT!  But, make it more than just a trip. Embrace the entire experience. Ask God what He is trying to teach them, how He is trying to grow them, and then watch Him answer that prayer. In becoming involved, they will learn things that they never expected. And they will be a part of the most extraordinary group of people they could ever want to be a part of.”

“I am so honored to be a part of this organization that I hardly have words to describe my deep love. I pray regularly for God to continue to grow this work. My family is involved which makes it even better for me. It seems to never leave us. Trust me when I say, the Haitians have taught me so much more than I give to them. I would give that experience to anyone!”

New Life for Haiti is incredibly honored and grateful to have you walking alongside us over the years, Julie! Thank you for blessing our brothers and sisters in Haiti and for your commitment to this work!
