<div>Hi everyone, my name is Aube, and I’m organizing this fundraiser to support my dear friend Dieulique as he works toward fulfilling his dream of studying in Québec.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I met Dieulique, a talented educator and climate advocate from Haiti, in 2023 while collaborating on a community solar energy project. As the co-founder and national coordinator of the Haiti Climate Network, and an elementary school teacher who was awarded “National Teacher of the Year” in 2022, he has spent his life uplifting others through education, activism, and hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During our project together, Dieulique organized a hands-on solar installation training for community members that culminated in the installation of a solar street light in a neighbourhood that had long been unsafe after dark. His leadership was so inspiring. His kind heart and commitment to climate justice were unmistakable. We instantly became friends, and have stayed in touch ever since.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong> The situation in Haiti</strong>
</div>
<div>Haiti is currently facing one of the most severe humanitarian crises in its history. Daily survival—access to food, safe shelter, clean water, and basic medical care—has become a struggle for millions. Armed groups now control most of Port-au-Prince and the surrounding regions. Many families live on just a few dollars a day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then, just recently, Hurricane Melissa struck, destroying homes, farms, roads, health facilities, and water systems. The storm has made an already devastating situation even worse, deepening displacement, hunger, and insecurity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dieulique and his family have endured tremendous hardship. They have been directly affected by gun violence and have had to move repeatedly to seek safety. Despite all this, he continues to give his time, energy, and heart to help others in his community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why we are fundraising</strong>
</div>
<div>For years, Dieulique has dreamed of pursuing further studies in Canada so he can continue building on his knowledge and skills and build a better life for himself and his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I feel deeply honoured to be Dieulique's sponsor . We are aiming to raise $10,000 to help cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Application and immigration fees
</li>
<li>Travel costs from Haiti to Québec
</li>
<li>Lodging
</li>
<li>Tuition and educational expenses
</li>
<li>Basic support as he gets established
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dieulique has no family in Canada, so your support means everything. He is an extraordinary human being who has dedicated himself to serving others despite unimaginable challenges. Helping him take this next step is not only an act of kindness and generosity — it is an investment in someone who is determined to create a better future and make the world a better place.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for reading, for sharing, and for supporting Dieulique. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will truly change the course of his life.
</div>
