Christina Schuliger Mission Foundation

Hello everyone!

First, I want to thank all of you for your contributions. The idea for this foundation came to me while I was in the hospital and my parents asked me how I thought others could help me. I truly believe that God planted the seed for the foundation in my mind through my work with the Haitian orphans at Holy Family Institute, and at that moment, it grew a little. Now, with your help, the foundation has grown a lot, and I want to update you on its progress.

Although I’ve always held mission work close to my heart, there is no doubt in my mind the idea of a foundation to help the children of Haiti came with help from the big guy. With His and your help, I am able to start fulfilling my dreams. For that, I thank you SO MUCH!

As this is the mission statement for my foundation: Establish a loving orphanage where children are able to grow up envisioning and fulfilling their dreams and goals, I realize that there is eminent need for some of the money to be put to use now. There is an amazing family in Haiti that shares a similar vision as mine, and I can start making a difference now by helping them with their needs.

The wife is an American woman who was working as a missionary and felt called to stay and give her time, love, and heart to the children in Haiti. Monica met John-Claude (a native Haitian) and they fell in love and got married. Since their marriage, they have adopted 16 children and hope to adopt 4 more.

Last December, I had the privilege of meeting Monica and some of her children. When I met Monica, I felt as if I was in the presence of an angel. I could just tell that her heart was full of pure love. Her children are too cute, as are all Haitian children They have started (and are almost finished with!) building a house to accommodate their entire family. She is living and breathing what I hope to accomplish in Haiti someday: Improving the lives of the children there and giving them a place to call home. So when I heard they needed help in building their house, my immediate reaction was, “Of course!!” I felt in my heart that their home is a version of “the orphanage” that has lived in my mind for years now. I was able to help them financially in building a roof.


I am going back to Haiti on June 11-19, so will be sure to take plenty of pictures of both the roof and house!

I will be there to do a bible camp for the kids in the two main orphanages I visited in December (E.B.A.C. and IDADEE). I am SO EXCITED! I have been counting the days until the trip since I found out I was going for sure. There are 34 days and 4 hours left! My mom is coming too. I am so excited for her to meet the people of Haiti and see why I am so in love with it :)


Thank you again for all of your help, and please pray for me, my mom, and the entire group for the strength and courage to fill the hearts of the children in Haiti with the love and affection they deserve! I will post pictures when I am back!!
