Tree of Life Orphanage

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Since our founding in 2010, Tree of Life has cared for Haitian children based on funding from the Garrison family and generous donors like you. Unfortunately, in 2021, ToL was forced to close the school so that our students would be safe given the deteriorating Haitian social conditions. It was a heartbreaking, but necessary, decision.

The move north created significant disruption for our orphans. Our objective is to make the transition to their new location as comfortable as possible, and to ensure that the children continue to have their physical, emotional and educational needs met through to adulthood. We have commitments for $85,000 from the Garrisons and several other donors, but are seeking to raise a matching amount through a capital campaign that will ensure that the children can remain together at least until they graduate from high school in Cap Haitien. With a successful campaign, we can ensure adequate funds to cover the next five years, at which point all the orphans will have completed their education.

We are still accepting donations through PayPal. If you can help, a donation of any amount will help. We are happy to accept one time donations as well as monthly donations. A contribution of $600, or $50 a month, will pay for one year's tuition expenses for one child. The monthly food cost for a single orphan is $100. To cover all expenses and support an orphan for an entire year would cost approximately $3,100.

Tree of Life needs your support now more than ever to ensure that these 15 children will live in a safe location, graduate from high school, and prepare to be responsible and capable adults. More broadly, we hope we are preparing our orphans to lead Haiti towards a better future.

Thank you for your continued support of Tree of Life and its mission.
