The Canadian Foundation for the Children of Haiti Changing minds, changing hearts, changing lives since 1981 December 2022
My Dear Friends, As the year draws to a close, I would like to thank you for the ways you have encouraged and supported us. Thank you for your prayers. Amid unimaginable threats and chaos, God has protected all of us at FCH; children, students, patients, staff. We are grateful for how you stand with us in this way. Thank you also for your faithful support . As Haiti has spiraled into chaos over the past 5 years, a huge challenge has been the ever increasing cost of basic necessities . In Haiti, high inflation is part of life, but over the past year as the gangs that control Port au Prince have disrupted the supply of everything we need we have seen the price of many items now being 4 or 5 times higher than 12 months ago. We realize that you have generously given more to help us, and can’t thank you enough for your kindness. One way God has clearly shown His goodness is by providing friends like you to join us in His work in Haiti. Every day we thank God for you. We wish each one of you all His blessings in the year ahead With love and gratitude, Gladys
