Children's Respite Home & Outreach Project, Haiti

Thanks for your continued support, allowing us to care for some of Haiti's most vulnerable children.  Just today, we had one joyful guardian visit us.  Her child, Mary, used to be part of the project, coming to us as a very withdrawn, and troubled little girl.  This little one had lost her mum, and was...

Dear Supporters Happy New Year 2011 2010 was without doubt the hardest year Haiti Hospital Appeal has ever faced.  The tragic events of the earthquake in the first weeks of last year shook the world, and for a few short months Haiti rested upon the hearts of many nations.  Yet for HHA, we have been blessed with...
