First of all, I’m a little embarrassed…
Asking for financial support from my friends, family, and coworkers is very hard for me. I like to donate, give, support charities, walks, cancer research, etc. I like to give Christmas presents, not receive. I want to thank you for taking the time to read about my trip, and to thank you in advance for your donation.
As most people close to me know, I have always felt the need give back. To do something meaningful. I am very excited to start this new journey in my life, and plan to return to Haiti at least once a year with the same organization. http://www.410bridge.org/hurricane-matthew-updates/
La Croix, Haiti
Haiti was devastated by yet another disaster in 2016…Hurricane Matthew. La Croix is one of the only cities in Haiti that is still facing devastation from that hurricane.
After much research and education, the organization I chose is all about “Helping without Hurting” the country of Haiti. The United States is an amazing country that has jumped to the aid of Haiti year after year. Most of that help has set Haiti back instead of propelling it forward. The organization that I’m going with focuses on helping the economy…rehabilitating instead of giving…helping the country function on its own without disrupting the current small businesses, farmers, construction workers, etc. Additional focuses are water, education, and health.
**If you’re ever looking for a great documentary, watch Poverty on Netflix.
Thank You!!
I am looking to raise $2000 for my trip to La Croix. Anything in addition I raise with go directly to the city of La Croix. Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
Love always,
Alicia
