Hi we're Steven and Gisell, I'm an American and my Wife is a beautiful Dominicana, I had a clinic in America, working with substance use recovery and wellness, but the work took a toll on my health and I had to take a break, I traveled accross the country but my email and phone went with me and I soon found myself in a country where I couldn't speak to anyone, and 5 years later We have a hotel, a Haitian restaurant a mental health clinic and this organization.
Were a young organization, I'm sure well adapt, but right now were buying food, offering really basic medical services, ibuprofin, tampons, rides to the hospital are a big deal, you need a license thats printed on the back of your helmet to drive, and refugees do not qualify and if they get stopped they are deported, so getting them safely to and from the hospital in a van, or for the time being in our truck, counceling, some of these people have made a dangerous journey
Education, Haitians speak Creol, a beautiful language that shares a lot with french, but to get work it's easier if they speak spanish, so we have 3 computer stations onsight, and just placed the first one in a town, were working on the wifi today as it didn't work the first two days, we look for work and housing. An apartment here can be as little as $40 but there are alot of families to help.
What I would love to do is have money to have basktball equipment in every Haitian town, Dominican kids practice baseball and scouts are down here from major league teams every year. David Ortiz and Sammy Sosa are just two discovered here but there are so many! Haitians need the ability to practice as well, equipment and coaching would offer alot of hope, as I had growning up very poor in Detroit. Practicing basketball was our only hope for a university education.
