Dear Team GOALS,

The extraordinary challenges that Haiti has endured this year include unprecedented insecurity due to gang violence and the disruption of stable home and work lives for so many. Despite these obstacles, GOALS remains focused on our mission to create stronger, healthier communities by engaging youth in soccer, education, health and environmental initiatives.

This holistic approach improves the lives of the kids in our programs while also serving as the catalyst for long term social change. And we owe this success to your continued generosity. Your contributions make it possible for us to implement valuable programs directly benefiting 400 children in the communities of Destra, Bossan, and Carrefour Croix.

The impact is best described by our participants:

“GOALS has prepared me for where I am now today because if it weren’t for GOALS, I would not be prepared to face the challenges in front of me. I learned how to take care of myself and make healthy decisions for my future.” – Rachel

“I look forward to going to the GOALS program because I get to play soccer, be with friends and get a meal. I have learned so much including how to respect others and how to speak up for myself. My favorite part is working in the community garden.”. – John

GOALS is facing a pressing need to raise $25,000 by the end of the year to keep our daily soccer and education programs going. All funds raised go directly to program expenses including a daily meal for each participant. For many it is their one stable meal of the day.

We need your support now more than ever.

You can make a real difference by contributing online, through Zelle at contact@golashaiti.org or by mailing a check. From all of us, we extend our heartfelt thanks for being a vital part of our efforts. Your continued support is instrumental in transforming the lives of these children, and we deeply appreciate your commitment.

Sincerely,

Kathy McAllister - Executive Director
