We Are Not Leaving: One Mission

ONE MISSION

This is an important update regarding Mission of Hope’s ongoing efforts to support our brothers and sisters in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Recently, the Haitian government requested our assistance in providing critical food and aid to some of the country's most vulnerable areas.

In response—and with a firm conviction not to look away—we have delivered over 544,320 meals to the border and are preparing to deploy our ship, True North, to deliver life-saving food and aid to areas cut off by gang violence and impassable roads.

With escalating violence, Haiti continues to remain cut off from basic necessities and critical aid, and we have an opportunity and a responsibility as an organization to do whatever we can to serve the most vulnerable.

True North is a vital resource, a tool God has given us to serve those in need. Rather than sitting in a safe harbor, True North will be deployed into the heart of the crisis, bringing not only food and aid but also a message of hope.

The hunger crisis extends beyond Haiti.

In the Dominican Republic, our team is diligently working with families and individuals in desperate need of food. Current reports indicate that 1,173,051 people face a food crisis, with an additional 33,387 people in a food emergency, meaning they do not know where their next meal will come from. Our team on the ground has personally witnessed completely deplorable conditions that many families are living in, and it’s heartbreaking, to say the least. It’s inhumane, unsanitary, and deeply disturbing. We cannot look away and pretend like this is not happening.

Mission of Hope’s response to these needs is One Mission.

This is our strategic plan to reach the most vulnerable people as swiftly as possible, providing relief to families, individuals, and communities who struggle to access the most basic necessities.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

First, we ask for your prayers. Pray for the women and children who are on the brink of starvation. Pray for the hands delivering food and aid. Pray for the safety of our staff as they risk their lives to reach the most vulnerable.

Secondly, we ask that you prayerfully consider joining us on this One Mission. Our goal is to raise $1.8 million by the end of the year to impact over 500,000 people. On average, it costs $3.60 to meet one person’s essential needs this season. How many will you help impact?

IMPACT | COST

  • 10 people > $36
  • 100 people > $360
  • 1000 people > $3600
  • 10,000 people > $36,000
This is only possible with your support and partners like you who believe in this mission and the ability to bring hope and healing to those who need it most across Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

He was only thirteen when an accident changed everything. In the Dominican Republic, a young boy, Binsley, was left paralyzed with no access to medical care and no one to turn to. His only family—his two brothers—loved him but had no resources to help. Without treatment, food, or proper care, his condition worsened, and painful wounds began to form as he lay waiting for help that never seemed to come. That changed when Pastor Carlos, a local pastor traveling with a Mission of Hope team, met him and immediately recognized the urgency of his situation. Through his leadership and connection with our Community Engagement team, care began—consistent, compassionate, and life-giving. Because of faithful support, Binsley now receives regular medic al care, nutritious food, clean clothing, wound treatment, and physical therapy in La Joya. While he remains paralyzed, his health has stabilized, his pain has lessened, and he is no longer facing his journey alone. For the first time in months, there is hope. Your generosity made this possible. Because you chose to give, a young boy was seen, cared for, and reminded that his life matters. And he is not the only one. There are many others praying for help—and through your continued partnership, hope is reaching them too.

In January, Klèb Manman continued to grow in Cap-Haïtien, with three active groups and the joyful beginning of a new one. These groups are more than meetings; they are safe spaces where mothers find encouragement, skills, and hope for a better future. In December, one young mother joined Klèb Manman. She is navigating motherhood at a very young age, carrying both the deep love for her child and the heavy responsibility of providing for her baby. After one Klèb Manman session, she approached our Women Empowerment director, Madame Rosealure, quietly and said, “Mrs., please, can I talk with you?” When Madame Roselaure said yes, she shared her dream: she wanted to start a small business so she could care for her child with dignity. Madame Roselaure shared that she did not have the financial ability to help right away, but she promised to pray with her and to trust God to make a way. The following month, moved by her courage and determination as a young mother, Madame Roselaure decided to use her own money to purchase materials so she could learn how to make liquid soap. This brave mother took that opportunity and turned it into action. She made the soap, sold it, and reinvested part of the income by buying more supplies so she could continue her business. Step by step, she began building a path toward independence and stability for herself and her baby. This story reflects the heart of Klèb Manman. Through manual activities and practical support, mothers, many of whom are navigating motherhood at an extremely young age, are gaining skills that empower them economically and emotionally. This kind of support restores hope, strengthens confidence, and helps mothers provide for their families while believing in a brighter future.
