Message From Our Executive Director

I am proud to serve Hearts with Haiti as our organization works in unity with the thousands of friends, donors, faith communities, and businesses who have stepped forward to support the St. Joseph Family. Every day at St. Joseph Family facilities, the extraordinary is commonplace—street children, abandoned and orphaned children, and former child slaves are provided with plentiful love, education, sustenance, friendship, fun, and faith. In addition, children and young adults with mental and physical challenges receive excellent care and are treated with dignity and respect. Young people grow into powerful leaders primed with the skills and drive necessary to make a difference in Haiti. Here is a mission that ignites passion in crowds of supporters and softens the minds of skeptics. I invite all to come and see why supporting the St. Joseph Family is an investment in bringing about a positive future for Haiti, one young person at a time.
