Dear Esteemed Guest, Thank you for gracing Angels for Humanity’s 9th Annual Catwalk for Charity: Where Fashion Meets Philanthropy! Your presence is deeply appreciated. I hope the event ignited a passion for our mission. Angels for Humanity (AFH) holds a special place in my heart as a premier charity, dedicated to providing underprivileged children access to quality education and healthcare. Our committed Board of Directors, comprised of compassionate and driven professionals, is focused on creating a positive impact. Beyond education and health, we’ve supported Haiti’s only pediatric cancer hospital and aided numerous schools.

MEDICAL MISSIONEl Salvador

Healing Hearts, Smiles, and Communities Worldwide 41

Annually, our medical mission trip gathers 30-40 compassionate volunteers to aid underprivileged children’s medical and dental needs. This year, we journeyed to El Salvador, extending care to children at Benjamin Bloom Children’s Hospital. Our foundation facilitated wound care, medication distribution, and vital emergency and preventive medical and dental services. As a thoughtful gesture, each child received a goodie bag containing clothing and a dental kit. Many of these kids lack basic healthcare access, and for most, our visit marked their first encounter with medical professionals. Our objective is to offer both preventive and urgent care, aiming to relieve the daily pain and suffering they endure.

This crucial work relies on the generosity of individual and corporate donors, enabling us to procure essential supplies for hundreds of children. By joining forces, we can persist in making a difference for impoverished children in Haiti and other corners of the globe. 43

CRISIS INTERVENTION Empowering Resilience, One Child at a Time

Life’s unexpected challenges can strike anyone, pushing even the resilient to the brink. When daily existence becomes a relentless struggle, the turmoil of political instability can escalate despair into tragedy. At Angels for Humanity, we’ve crafted a Crisis Intervention Program that stands by children during their most vulnerable times. This year, we’re proud to launch a nourishing initiative aimed at L’Ecole Damitier Elementary in Ranquite, Haiti. In the wake of ongoing political unrest, the people of Haiti face even graver uncertainties, leaving countless without a glimmer of hope. Distressingly, essentials such as shelter, sustenance, and clean water remain elusive for many Haitian children, contributing to a distressing statistic: more than 20% of children under 5 years old suffer from chronic malnutrition. For merely $35 per month, you can empower a single child with sustenance and transformative programs that can reshape their life’s trajectory. With your unwavering support, we can extend a lifeline to many families on the brink of life-or-death situations. Every donated dollar directly fuels initiatives like these, reaching out to numerous children and their families in need. Your contribution truly makes a profound difference.

Empowering Humanity Through Compassionate Intervention In times of crisis, Angels for Humanity steps in to offer vital support. Over the past few years, Haiti has faced a series of challenges that have left many in dire need. In the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Haiti, already struggling, found itself grappling with limited resources to aid its vulnerable population. Responding swiftly, our dedicated volunteers journeyed to Haiti, armed with masks for children and crucial supplies for the country’s sole cancer hospital. Shortly thereafter, Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake that wreaked havoc on the town of Jeremie and its surrounding areas. With the generous backing of the Motorola Foundation, AFH mobilized shipments of essential food and provisions to affected families. By collaborating closely with a local church pastor, we ensured that supplies reached the area’s most in need. In a recent development, a substantial shipment of donated medical resources was dispatched to Haiti, a nation grappling with the challenge of caring for its ill amidst scarce funds and resources. With sustained financial support, we aim to forge partnerships with organizations, enabling us to deliver assistance precisely where it is most urgently required. 53
