Provide a safe home for Haitian Orphans

It’s already February and the kids at the HTDC orphanage have had a great start to the year. They all did great in their recent progress exams and they’re planning field trips for the summer.

Their success and bright outlook for the future is all down to your generosity. Without you, they would be spending their days worrying about where their next meal was coming from instead of playing with their Christmas presents!

This Valentines day, we hope you’ll keep the kids in mind by making a donation in honor of your Valentine. When you make a donation, your Valentine will receive a beautiful card which makes a lovely, meaningful Valentines Day gift.

To buy a gift card for your Valentine just click here, choose what type of card you’d like to send, and you’ll have an instant Valentines day gift that adds a little more love to the world!

Thanks so much for all you’ve already given, and we wish you a very happy Valentines Day! 

We can’t believe your generosity. This holiday season, you gave an extraordinary $9,599! Because of your fantastic generosity, we’ll be able to keep providing the education, health care, and safe housing that these beautiful kids need to thrive.

Thanks to you, they’re starting 2013 full of joy and hope – and we hope you are as well! 2013 no doubt holds challenges.

There are always new mountains to climb in Haiti. But we’re ready to tackle them. Together, we can build a sustainable future for the Hands Together to Defend the Children Orphanage.

Thanks so much for all you’ve given and we wish you a fantastic start to 2013!

As we wave goodbye to 2012 and welcome the New Year, we hope that you’ll resolve to make 2013 a year of giving. For the next 48 hours you can set up a monthly donation, receive 2012 tax benefits, and have the first month of your donation doubled by GlobalGiving!

Your monthly donation of just $5 will provide school supplies every month for one of the kids at the orphanage. Or, your donation of $21 a month will pay all education costs for one child every month.

If you can afford a little more, your monthly gift of $31.50 will put food on the plate of a child like Germina every day.

Germina’s mother died giving birth to her and she was brought to the orphanage when she was just a few days old. She was premature and ill, and we weren’t sure if she would survive. But she’s a fighter, and today she’s approaching her first birthday. Thanks to donors like you, she’s thriving, and with your support, we’ll help her grow up strong and healthy.

Whether you’re ringing in the new years with a fabulous party, or watching the ball drop from the comfort of your own couch, we hope you have a lovely evening and wish you the Happiest of New Years!

This Holiday Season, you've already given an extraordinary $2300. Because of your generosity, the kids you’ve supported at the HTDC orphanage are going to bed this Christmas Eve and dreaming of what Santa – whom they call “Papa Noel” – will bring them.

Florentina has asked Papa Noel for a doll's house this Christmas, and Manoucheca says she’s hoping for a nice new dress for church.

The amazing thing is that, this Christmas, each of these kids will get a gift because you chose to support them. It wasn’t always like this for the kids at HTDC. They’ve all lost parents and were homeless after the earthquake. But thanks to your generosity, that’s in the past, and their Christmas is filled with gifts, joy, and security.

You may not have ever seen the presents the kids will open tomorrow morning, but you made each and every gift possible.

Thanks so much for all you’ve given to the 27 children at the HTDC orphanage, and we wish you a very Merry Christmas.

We can’t believe it’s already the week before Christmas. If you haven’t gotten around to all your shopping yet, you can find the perfect gift while changing the life of a child like Florentina.

Four year old Florentina parents abandoned her after the earthquake left them unable to care for her. She is one of the most out-going children at the orphanage, and given her affection for putting on shows, the directors suspect she may grow up to be an actress!

Florentina relies on you to ensure she has a safe place to live, food, and gets the education she needs. A donation of just $25 will send her to school for a full month. Please give today. When you donate to support Florentina on behalf of a loved one, they’ll receive a gorgous card. You can even select an ecard which will be ready almost instantly for those last minute gift needs. To give your gift just find the “Gift or in Honour of” button under the orange “donate” button on the project page.

If you’re ready to do a little more, why not set up a recurring gift and make 2013 a year of giving? Your recurring donation will be matched by an anonymous donor, doubling your impact and making a huge difference to Florentina. You can set up a reccuring donation by clicking on “Monthly Recurring” under the orange “donate” button on our project page.

Thanks so much, and Happy Holidays!
