Chedline came to the HTDC orphanage with her twin brother in 2019 after their dad died. Their mum is still alive but is desperately poor and made the heartbreaking decision to leave the twins at HTDC.
The HTDC Orphanage does its very best for the children in its care, Chedline and her brother included, but the situation in Haiti is even tougher right now than usual. Years of political unrest and the assasination of the President last year have led to chaos and rising prices. The impacts of Covid-19 on the global economy also mean that donations from some supporters have dried up.
Although this micro-project didn’t reach its target the money that was raised will still help support Chedline and the other children at HTDC*. For example, donations received will help pay the rent and provide caregivers, water and electricity.
Chedline has a brighter future because you gave. There are so many things you could have spent your hard earned money on, but you chose Chedline. Thanks so much.
We’ll keep updating you about Chedline and all her friends at the Hands Together to Defend the Children Orphanage through this project’s parent page,Provide a Safe Home for Haitian Orphans. If you ever have any questions about how we're using your donation, please email Andy@IDVolunteers.org. We’d love to hear from you!
*Your donations to this project will cover Chedline’s share of the costs, but will be spent on all the children in parallel as we fundraise for each in turn.
