15 Dec 2011: Deck the Wall: Help Have Faith Haiti, One Brick at a Time

UPDATE MARCH 2012: Check out the wall before & after!

 

Help Us Fix This Wall – Before It Falls Down!

Our beautiful children at the Have Faith Haiti Mission face a danger from this rear wall which is near collapse after months of decay following the earthquake.  It is being held up with steel rods but we fear they can no longer support the structure. The cracks are spreading. Sadly, the wall stands in the path where the children go to the bathrooms, and so the danger is multiplied.

We are seeking to raise $14,000 to deconstruct and reconstruct this wall to something safe and earthquake proof, so the children will never have to worry about its collapse. Our goal is to raise this money in one week’s time, and let them know a Christmas present is coming from the people in America who care about these children. If you can help in any way, please click here. Thank you for your generosity and God bless you.

Have Faith Haiti

The Have Faith Haiti Mission is a special place of love and caring, dedicated to the safety, education, health and spiritual development of Haiti’s impoverished children and orphans. The Mission was founded in the 1980’s by a Detroit Pastor named John Hearn Sr. as The Caring and Sharing Mission. Since then, it has raised and cared for hundreds of children, some of whom now work there caring for the next generation.

Following the devastating earthquake of January, 2010, the mission fell upon hard times, and later that year, operations were taken over by author Mitch Albom and his A Hole In The Roof Foundation, and the name changed to Have Faith Haiti Mission, inspired partly by Albom’s book “Have a Little Faith.”
