Six years ago, Amos' world collapsed - and so did the world of all Haitian people. Today we remember the 250.00 lives lost during the devastating earthquake of 2010 -- my heart goes out to all who lost their loved ones....

More Info

Amos was pretty desperate when he reached out to me in 2010. During the devastating earthquake he lost literally all he had: both his parents. He was only 17 at the time. Soon afterwards he was robbed of all his possessions. When I met him, he showed me his bed: a bench under a tree in the capitol of Port-au-Prince. I took him under my wing and he entered Kids Connection Haiti.   

KCH helped him with schooling, housing, community service, food...and he started to blossom again. Now, Amos is eager to become economically independent. He wants to start a moto taxi company and I want to help him realize this dream. I believe in him. He is smart, dedicated, and a hard worker. But he needs your help!
