TA’s Going Back to Haiti! (2018)
Friends!
I have exciting news! There will be waaaay too many exclamation points this time around...
I have been invited to join an organization in Haiti called Middle Ground! They are a malnutrition treatment and prevention program, that also offers sustainability and education programs to families. You can read a bit about them below, or on their website - https://middlegroundhaiti.org/
After 8 years of working toward this goal, I will be officially moving to Haiti October 23, and working with the team at Middle Ground to develop and implement therapeutic programming, and providing training and support to the local staff in regards to using recreation/leisure/play to address developmental delays and needs of the children in treatment. If you know me, you know this feels like the perfect place for me!
In order to provide these services and work with these children, families, and professionals in Haiti, I need to raise my salary and my first year of rent ASAP.
To start, I need to raise $5000 USD to rent an apartment for 1 year - I get to have my OWN apartment in Haiti!!! This is a HUGE deal for me!
Next, I need to have $1000 USD/month to live off of - this includes transportation, food, health care, etc.
It feels like too much for me - but I know that I am not alone in this journey!
Thank you all for loving me, for praying for me, and for always supporting me in all of the ways that you do! ❤️❤️❤️
I am so excited to get back to Haiti, and truly start building a life there. Being able to see the people who have become like family to me more than once a year feels like a dream.
