Haitain Educational Aid and Resources (HEAR)

Happy New Year!

This is something we hear very regularly at this time of year. Happy New Year! But what does it mean to wish someone a Happy New Year? I wish you a better life? I wish you a more comfortable life? I wish you a more fulfilled life?

This wishes can come true when we also take a step of two to help them happen. That is why HEAR exists. To give a helping hand in creating a better, more comfortable and fulfilled life for our students, their families and those who lives they will impact when they return to Haiti.

Our current student at Concordia University in Portland has just completed her third module with flying colors.

Marie-Michele is also working on campus in food services and recently was asked to help in a classroom teaching Spanish at a local school. She is a very talented young woman and is also very motivated to continue to improve herself and those around her.

Last week she approached me with a financial need. It is just what HEAR is all about. She needed funds for text books and rent and the Christmas break has kept her from working at the school. Ergo, no paycheck for this month. It was a simple request for $500. Even the way if was requested gave testimony to the type of young lady Mari is. She simple asked for a short term loan. HEAR doesn't loan money, we give it freely. But in order to do this we need your help.

Your gift of $10, $20, $50, etc. gives us the opportunity to help our students when the need arises. And we know that the needs will continue to arise as we strive to aid these students in their pursuit of knowledge and a Happy New Year!

Please consider making your donation a sustaining gift for this new year. Make 2017 a happy one for those in need.

Thank you.
