From Struggles to Schoolbags: Help 300 Kids in Haiti

Seven years ago, I looked at the children in my hometown in Haiti and saw myself.

I remember going to school with only a few worn notebooks, struggling to buy a good backpack, and sometimes starting the school year with almost nothing. I know how hard it is to dream big when you're starting with so little.

That's why I started HEYA – Haitian for the Enlightenment of Young Adults—a nonprofit dedicated to supporting kids who are just like I was. Every year, we work hard to provide school supplies like backpacks, notebooks, pens, and pencils to children in need.

Last year, thanks to generous supporters like you, we helped around 220 kids go back to school with dignity and hope. This year, we're aiming higher—with your help, we want to reach 300 children.

Education opens doors, but without the basic tools, many kids fall behind or lose hope. Your donation can make a real difference: a backpack, a notebook, even just a pencil—these simple items can help a child feel confident and ready to learn.

Please join us in this mission. Share, donate, and be part of giving the next generation in Haiti a reason to keep going and to keep dreaming.

Together, we can turn limited resources into limitless futures.

With gratitude,

Thank you for your support.
