Celebrating World Heart Day
Six-year-old Donalcia has always been full of energy and light, despite the challenges her family faces each day. Living in a modest shelter with her mother, stepfather, and siblings, she is surrounded by love, courage, and determination.
This spring, Donalcia’s health took a serious turn. What seemed like a small illness became something much more urgent. But thanks to Hope for Haiti’s Infirmary St. Etienne and referral program, she received the specialized care she needed completely free of charge.Doctors diagnosed Donalcia with tuberculosis, which had affected her lungs and her heart. With the right medicines, careful monitoring, and life-saving hospital treatment arranged by the Referral team, she began to recover.
After more than a month in the hospital, Donalcia returned home stronger, breathing freely, and ready to continue her rest and recovery. Her bright smile today is proof that, with access to healthcare, children in Haiti can overcome incredible odds.
On World Heart Day, we celebrate stories like Donalcia’s. They remind us that every act of generosity makes a difference, turning fear into hope, sickness into healing, and struggle into strength.
💙 When you give, you’re not only supporting treatment, you’re giving children the chance to grow, to learn, and to thrive. Donate today to help more children like Donalcia get the care they deserve.

Scholarship Student Profile: Solange’s Story
Born in Fond des Blancs as one of 13 children, Solange grew up in extreme poverty where school was out of reach for most of her siblings. But through hard work and the help of her godmother, Solange became the only one in her family to complete high school.
Now, with support from Hope for Haiti’s Scholarship Program, she is on the path to graduating as a nurse this year. Her vision is to give back to her community by helping malnourished children and ensuring every child has the chance to go to school.
