My family and I had the good fortune of going to Haiti in 2018, to help out at a medical mission, in a town 40 minutes North of the capital Port Au Prince.

​

We witnessed sickness and extreme poverty but we also saw hope, people who had nothing of their own were willing to help others.

​

We saw the same laughter, the same sparkle in Haitian kids eyes as one would see in a NYC playground. Only they were playing soccer with a beat up plastic bottle cap.

​

They didn't have a fancy uniform, no shin guards, no astroturf but were having just as much fun as any American kid (see Video)
