You see, Suzie is my hero because she has been providing the poor from my native Haiti with food and many daily essentials through her foundation for over twenty years. One hundred percent of monies donated to Suzie's foundation goes to help the poor in Haiti , unlike the CLINTONS, who have robbed the Haitian people through their so called foundation.

After learning about Suzie, I made a decision to support her foundation financially . I am glad there are people like Suzie who follows what the word of God says to do according to the verses listed below.

Leviticus 19:9-10 reads: "When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God."

The other night I attended a most amazing event: my first Mercy & Sharing Haitian Gala. Mercy & Sharing is a one-of-a-kind organization whose mission is to provide care and education to abandoned, orphaned, and disabled children in Haiti. I first learned about Mercy & Sharing after reading the book Angels of a Lower Flight: One Woman’s Mission to save a Country…One Child at a Time by the organization’s CEO, Suzie Scott Krabacher. I read it in one day and immediately became Krabacher’s number one fan. Her story touched me so deeply that it moved me to action. I made the decision to support Mercy & Sharing financially.

Suzie’s story made me stop to think that we do not have to let life’s curveballs define who we become in life. Having been sexually abused by her grandfather from age four until eight, Suzie made a sound decision to not let her past impact her future in a negative way. She used her pains as a way to reach out to other children who had struggled with the same lack of self-worth that she had. Her good deeds have made it possible to help educate the forgotten, feed the hungry, house the neglected, show mercy and dignity to the abused, and empower a new generation to hope and sustainability in my native Haiti.

Twenty years later, Mercy & Sharing is still going strong. The gala was held to raise additional funds to help reach more abandoned and disabled children from a vulnerable state of being hurt and broken and provide comprehensive care until they become independent and thriving.

I am Haitian American and I was deeply touched by people’s generosity. At the gala one person purchased a Peyton Manning-signed jersey for $1,500 dollars. Another purchased a Ty Lawson-signed jersey for $2,500. At a high school teacher’s salary, I can’t afford to make these types of donations, but nonetheless, I was left in awe at how kind and generous some people are. If you would like to donate to Mercy & Sharing, please visit their website. Thank you!
