Life in Jeremie, Haiti, can be really tough. Imagine paying about $75 for a gallon of gas or relying on a small garden just to feed your family. Even harder is the heartbreaking choice between letting a child go or watching them struggle with hunger. With little chance for education and survival, life on the island is a real challenge. Back in 2009, a small group from Arizona and a Catholic priest teamed up to open Our Lady of Perpetual Help Orphanage to care for children in Jeremie. Today, it has grown to support more than 80 kids, offering food, a safe home, clean water, power, and schooling. The orphanage has helped children grow from babies into adults—some are now studying engineering or becoming doctors. While these successes are wonderful, more children still need support, and the orphanage is running low on resources. I’ve been proud to help keep things going, but we can’t do it alone. The children at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Orphanage need us. Please visit their website here. I hope you’ll join me and so many others from Arizona in giving whatever you can.
