Thank You for Helping Us Help These Kids!

With each deal, we will sponsor a child at the New Life 4 Kids home in Haiti. I want to personally thank all of our wonderful clients for helping us help these children! There is so much need around the planet, including here in NYC (we are also supporting The Henry Street Settlement). And it was not easy deciding where to assist, Cheryl (my wife) met a woman associated with this home and the stars just aligned. This is our first, meet Lovena;




Lovena Alerte My Story:

My name is Lovena and I am so happy to be here at New Life Children’s Home. I came here in 2008 when I was just 3 years old. I came from the Pestel area where my family struggled to find food, clean water, and to provide the medical care that I needed. When I got here to New Life I was unable to talk, walk or even stand. My legs were so floppy! With several years of good food, loving care and the right medicine, I now can walk! In fact, one of my favorite things to do is to sweep the yard. It makes me feel good that I can help and be in such a happy and safe place. It would be so great to one day be a nurse and help others.

Fearing even higher rates?

We Have Finally Settled on Two Charities to Support

As you can imagine this was no easy task. It seems for all the joy and abundance in the world, there is an equal amount of suffering. I'll keep it short; I stayed local with The Henry Street Settlement, they have been assisting New Yorkers since 1893 and are a highly rated charity. My wife met a woman at one of my daughters activities who had a connection to Haiti. The first hand stories were heart breaking! After doing our own research, which demonstrated the worthiness of the angels running this home for children, we jumped on board: New Life 4 Kids.

And again, thank you for all the kind referrals and support!

Happy Holidays!!
