Through your partnership with Lifeline, you’ve provided hope to thousands of Haitians the past 35 years through education, homes, medical care, and nutritious foods. Many of our staff in Haiti are a result of your generosity, and they, in turn, are paying it forward as they encourage and meet the needs of their neighbors, students, etc. Sometimes, though, the needs are too great for them to meet alone.
Samuel, our Haiti Field Lovelink Coordinator, recently shared this with us:
There are 8 people in this family, all living in this home (see photos below), which is not a good home. When it rains, they cannot sleep. Can you try to find sponsors for the 3 children? Please. God bless you.
Could you help provide hope to this family?
We need you to be an advocate for these children. Simply share this with a friend, co-worker, or family member who may be interested in connecting as a sponsor with one of these children. They can contact Audra@Lifeline.org for additional details. The children are Woodeline Beneche (ID# GGINP995), Jhonly Beneche (ID# GG3427), and Claudia Docirin (ID# GG17375).
It doesn’t end there, though. W e would love to bless this family with a new home! If you would be interested in donating a 2-room, cement block home for this family (or other families in Haiti with similar needs), simply contact HomesForHaiti@Lifeline.org.
Thank you for sharing God’s love with the children and families of Haiti!
