Doubling Your Donations Through Matching Funds!

  Johanne, Real Hope for Haiti

(Blog excerpt from Real Hope for Haiti, Aug. 2014)

"This little bundle of joy came to us last year weighing just 2 pounds 13 ounces.  Her mama had cholera and delivered her early and then died... Her papa is a farmer and grows sweet potatoes in his fields.  He asked us to care for Johanne until she is walking and off of infant formula...

We have many children that are just like Johanne.  Their mama have died in childbirth or shortly after and the family cannot afford infant formula...

We have a wonderful organization called Formula One Life that has been helping many children just like Johanne, not just here in Haiti, but all over the world.  They have been faithful year after year to help meet a portion of our need for infant formula for the babies in the ICU and Rescue Center.  What a blessing they have been to RHFH.  They are offering a matching grant of $2000 for infant formula for RHFH.  That means each dollar you give will be doubled with this matching grant..."   (click here to read more)

Thank you donors for making our continued support of RHFH possible and helping feed Haiti's most fragile and precious infants in need!
