Haiti Crisis

I hold a special place in my heart for Haiti. A few years back I was part of a team who went to Haiti and built earthquake safe houses, nursed the wounded and sick, played with the orphaned and learned more than I would in any other life experience. My heart is heavy right now for everyone who is being hit with this crisis. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families involved.

I am currently looking for a group to volunteer with. I want to head back to Haiti to help, this country helped me realize my life dream, the Haitians changed my life. I hope you are finding ways to volunteer time and resources to this event. The Haitians taught me to smile regardless of the situation. They were always happy; happy with what they had, even if it seemed like so little(to Americans).

I do not doubt the spirit of these people as they work through this crisis, even now in their sorrow they are praising for those who did live and who have made it through the collapsed buildings. Haitians are a strong culture on the inside, and although the government may be corrupt, the people are Strong and will pull together. I hope we in America can help.

I am currently donating all proceeds from purchases towards the Haiti crisis. I plan to give what I can to help those in Haiti right now, please join me in my efforts.


With gratitude,
Jade Rose
