Make a Difference
Testimonials from our sponsors and volunteers.
"I entered my first trip to Haiti with no prior knowledge or expectations of what might be awaiting me. Little did I know, the experience would leave such a lasting impression and challenge my everyday way of life.The beaming smiles of children in the midst of extreme poverty truly touched my heart. It served as a reminder that a life of abundance does not necessarily equate to a life filled with joy. It made me realize how much I have and question what is actually important. Coming back home to "normal" everyday life was a struggle I did not anticipate and one I am still sorting through. I look forward to future visits to Haiti and continuing to support Futures4Haiti and the kids whose lives we are making a difference in."

“Volunteering with Futures4Haiti has been the best and most rewarding experience of my life. I have been to Haiti three times so far and am hoping to go again soon. Each time I visit Haiti, I fall more in love with the children. Even though the people in Haiti live in extreme poverty they are so happy and thankful for everything they are given especially the education that Futures4Haiti provides. I am so thankful to Brenda for allowing me to go on this journey with her.”

“Visiting the communities in Haiti is something that I look forward to every year. Each time I visit I realize that everyone is so happy and grateful for everything that this program does. They seriously scream of joy and run up to you with excitement. The parents themselves are proud simply because this program allows their child to receive an education in such a poverty-stricken country. I am appreciative to be able to see how Futures4Haiti inspires and educates people first hand.”

“I have had the privilege to go to Haiti a few times with Brenda and the board of directors of FUTURES4HAITI, and I am amazed each time I go. It is a great and wonderful program to be involved with and I’m so happy when I get the chance to see and spend time with the children. Brenda, the board, volunteers, and the sponsors do such an amazing job getting school supplies and necessities to the children and families in Haiti. This program offers the children a chance to learn and better their community. Brenda and the team are so involved with each child and family and it has been a huge success. I am so proud to be part of this program and believe the futures of these children and their community will continue to grow and be successful. The people of Haiti and this program have truly made a huge and amazing impact on my life, and i realize how important education is in every aspect of life.....”

"I've been hearing stories of Brenda’s work ever since I was little and I have always wanted to go with them to help and to meet the wonderful children who were the main characters in all of their stories. I am so grateful that in October 2017 I was able to do just that. Nothing you see in a picture can do justice to the amazing work that is being done by Brenda and F4H. There are so many people unaware of the problems that the people of Haiti are facing and I am incredibly lucky to have witnessed and been a part of the work being done. Every time I saw the children, there was not one kid who did not have a smile on their face. The students and their families were happy, compassionate and kind. Being able to be a part of this at my age is something truly extraordinary and I will forever be grateful. "

"I just had the privilege of joining Brenda on one of her many trips to Haiti. The primary mission of Futures4Haiti is to provide an education for each of these 20 children, but Brenda and team provide so much more than that. They personally ensure that each child is enrolled in school, has the uniform and books needed and has the support from home to attend and keep up at school. They take every measure to assure the kids that they are loved. They bring hope to every one of these kids and by extension, their families, who otherwise would have no way to get out of their current situations. The love and dedication that Brenda has for these kids are evident and obviously mutual. I feel blessed to have witnessed it and look forward to doing everything I can to help this amazing, magical cause."
