Two years ago this coming Tuesday my mother past away. I felt like a big part of me died. However knowing she is with our father gives me such warmth. This was one amazing woman! She sacrificed so much for us. She was a compassionate nurse! She would come home and take care of the house hold, her kids, and husband. She also took care of our relatives. She was always willing to help anyone in need. What a giving woman! And so smart. She wanted the best for me and worked hard to help me succeed. She is the reason for my own courage, strength, and giving nature. Tears are coming as I wrote this, but loving, hope filled tears that one day I will see her again in a pain free world with Jesus!!

As Haiti continues to be gripped by gang violence, corruption and extreme poverty, a faith-based organization in Middleton is working to bring hope to one Haitian community. Executive director Tia Bunz and operations director Swenson Blanchard of the Fond Blanc Foundation share how God is working through a school the group supports. They also discuss how you can help their efforts through their upcoming fundraiser, The Rally On the Runway, at Middleton’s Morey Field.
