Success Stories
I Need Your Help!!!
Getting an education in Haiti is difficult but because of you I can go to school and one day get a job to help support my family. Helping Hugs, Inc. supports 3 schools with over 250 kids just like me and we need your support for the 2018 - 2019 School Year. The cost to operate the schools next year is estimated to be $16,000. My family does not have any money to send me to school. For many of my classmates their only meal for the day is the one they receive at school. Please help us by making a donation today.
Thank you!

Current Project
One of our major projects for 2018 was to provide a roof for the St. Lawrence Chapel. That project has now been completed. St.
Lawrence is one of the 10 chapels under the care of Father Islaire Faustin. Parishioners in Bouca Moran, Haiti will now be able to attend
Church and other events without the concern of adverse weather conditions. Thank you to all who helped make this possible.
