Earthquake Devastates St. Joseph Home in Port au Prince

Broken Wings is the Canadian fundraising organization whose primary mission is to support the vision and ministry of the St. Joseph Family in Haiti, which includes the St. Joseph’s Home for Boys in Port-au Prince, Wings of Hope in Fermathe, and Trinity House in Jacmel.

Orphans caring for orphans: a beautiful story

St. Joseph’s Home for Boys was Michael Geilenfeld’s dream that became a reality in 1985, bringing boys off the streets of Port-au-Prince to provide them with a Christian home and family.

When French missionaries announced they were leaving Haiti and needed to find care for the disabled children under their supervision, Michael took some of the older boys from St. Joseph's to choose a child to bring home and care for. But the boys surprised Michael when they chose to adopt all the children. Wings of Hope had become a thriving home for disabled children, recently rebuilt and expanded to include a day school for disabled community children and lovely guest facilities.

'princess and the pea' canvas-mounted painting from kids deserve art

One of the most popular girl paintings at Kids Deserve Art, this 16x20" piece is hand-painted on stretched and mounted canvas and dusted with a touch of fairy glitter. Ready to hang.

Kids Deserve Art is a mom-owned online art gallery. Haley-O started the gallery after her first child was born in 2005. She always had a love for art, and a strong belief that cultivating children's appreciation for art can significantly enrich their lives. While searching for art for her daughter’s nursery, her mission became clear: she wanted to bring genuine art into children’s lives, while supporting the artists in her community. And so, as the saying goes, Kids Deserve Art was born.


The pieces in the Kids Deserve Art gallery -- which include paintings, growth charts, coat hooks, light-switch plates, drawer pulls, tote bags, and more -- are all created by professional Canadian artists. Kids Deserve Art is a part of Haley’s personal website Cheaty Monkey, which is also a celebration of kids and the art of motherhood.

All proceeds from items sold on the To Haiti with Love auction go directly to the St. Joseph's Family in Haiti. To make a bid, simply leave a comment with the amount of your bid and your email address. The auction will wrap up on February 8, 2010, and winners will be contacted right away to arrange payment and shipping. Good luck!
