Thank you so much for helping to provide 1 more year of security for the children at the HTDC orphanage in Port-au-Prince!
In a recent project report we explained how we’re aiming to raise $12,000 this Holiday season to provide security after our charity closes. We then shared the stories of Fritz and Kenson - two of the children your donations will help support in 2023.
Since launching this appeal on Nov 29 donors like you have given an amazing $2,288, and in this report we wanted to highlight another child who relies on the orphanage for a safe home and to meet their other basic needs.
Chedline (pictured) is 13 years old. Chedline was brought to the orphanage in 2019, along with her two siblings. Chedline’s mum is still alive but when their dad died she couldn’t afford to care for the children anymore and made the heartbreaking decision to give them up.
One of the children was adopted last year, but Chedline and her brother Chedlin still rely on the orphanage to provide them the security they need. Although the last few years have been hard on Chedline, she stays positive and loves to help out by looking after the younger children in the orphanage’s care. Chedline is now looking forward to Christmas and would love some new clothes and a bit of jewelry to wear.
We know you’ve already given so much, but if you can we’ll hope you’ll consider making a further donation to this project. 100% of your donation (after any GlobalGiving fees) will go directly to the orphanage. So, your gift really will help ensure that Chedline has the safe home and care she needs for 1 more year.
You can find out more about our plans to close down IDV on our website, and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email Andy@IDVolunteers.org. I’d be delighted to hear from you as always.
