Dear Hope for Haiti Family: 

 

Since last year’s 7.2 magnitude earthquake, our entire organization has been primarily focused on implementing our short- and long-term plan for relief and reconstruction in southern Haiti. We have never wavered in our belief that given the appropriate funding and leadership, we will ALWAYS exceed our goals for programmatic, financial, and administrative success despite any challenges that lie in our path. 

 

At the core of Hope for Haiti’s body of work over the past year lies a complex and coordinated effort driven by our team, our board of directors, our donors, our strategic partners, and most importantly: the people of Haiti. 

 

We chose to release our annual gratitude report on the one-year anniversary of the earthquake as a tribute to those whose lives were impacted by yet another disaster, and those who responded in service to help improve the lives of Haitian children, parents, and grandparents in southern Haiti. 

 

In recognition of today’s anniversary, our team observed a moment of silence and reflection on Friday in memory of the 2,248 lives lost. After, all were invited to share their stories from the day with the group. We encourage you to join us and observe a moment of silence today. 

 

We are forever grateful for your support and belief in our work.

 

Mesi Anpil (Thank You),

Skyler Badenoch
