If families are like pieces of art, these found siblings are masterpieces

“Look around. These are your brothers and sisters. And they always will be.”

We invent many things at our orphanage in Haiti, mostly because we have to. Haiti is a place where the given is not a given, where paperwork disappears, where essential records are lost.

So at times we have to have birth certificates created, for children who come to us with no history. We have to decide birthdays. We have to invent addresses and build medical histories.

"Thank you for sharing, inspiring and giving us hope in seeing what's right with the world." —Sue B.
Joy is the fuel that makes Have Faith Haiti go. Experience the laughs, hardships, and love of a big, sprawling, wildly different family through the eyes and voices of its children. Your subscription fee supports the orphanage in Haiti and gives you access to exclusive benefits!
