Hello Family & Friends,

As you know this year has been hard for me and on my journey to find my new normal, I have found a calling to serve more and bring more light into the world through serving. One of the ways that I can that is give back and give my time to those who need it.

I am excited to give my time to the children and staff in Haiti who are in great need support.

The place we are going to helps survivors of Human Trafficking, while there the team I will be with will assist the staff in whatever capacity they need.

Human Trafficking is a worldwide epidemic that needs to be stopped, that process sadly takes years BUT for each person saved there needs to be a SAFE PLACE for them to go to and that is what your donation helps to provide.

My goal is $1,500.00 I hope that we can raise much more. I only have 50 days to do so, please help me to help others see their bright future in a safe place.

Thank you

Lela

Thank you for your participation in a Help One Now Learning Journey! The Help One Now ethos is to remain invisible in our communities and focus our efforts on resourcing key leaders instead. Help One Now leads a limited number of Learning Journeys for committed, long-term supporters (Church Partners, Child Sponsors, Foundation members, and Love Hope Partners) each year. On these Journeys, emphasis will be placed on connecting with a community, building deep relationships with the local leaders, and brainstorming how you can unlock your human capital to partner together and support their work back home.

On this trip, we are excited for you to:

● meet and fall in love with our local leaders and the children they serve

● learn from our local leaders by hearing their stories and engaging in their communities. Doing this helps us, the visitors, understand the unique issues in different environments

● see the impact of our projects firsthand and gain a new understanding of how complex working in these communities can be

● become advocates of the country, people and orphans that you meet when you return home. You are the tribe; we need you to run with these stories and partner with us to make an impact

● utilize your human capital to train the house moms and leaders of the community on how to make use of trauma informed approaches to interacting with children

We’d love to encourage you to familiarize yourself with Help One Now’s philosophy regarding international mission.
