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.

'cruiser' fine art print by jen way

"Photography is a passion of mine. One that includes light and magic, beautiful moments and raw feelings. It’s not rushed or posed. It’s just the way you remember it to be." ~ Jennifer Way

Cruiser is shot with Jen's Diana camera. The scene was captured in Avon, North Carolina, also known as the Outer Banks, one overcast Spring day.

Jennifer Way is a photographer who specializes in product, portrait and still-life photography. On a personal note, she has a husband and three children and believes in fairies and pixie dust. And she likes to build sand castles and forts with couch cushions and blankets. She has a hard time passing up second-hand chairs with good lines. And really loves dark chocolate.

'back when' fine art print by Jen Way

"Photography is a passion of mine. One that includes light and magic, beautiful moments and raw feelings. It’s not rushed or posed. It’s just the way you remember it to be." ~ Jennifer Way

Back When is shot with Jennifer's Yashica Mat EM medium format film camera. This scene was taken at a local antique store in their salvage, re-purpose area. "The light was just perfect that day, nostalgic and glowy. I was drawn to the theatre chairs, the row of them, the light sitting so perfectly across the red velvet. It reminded me of an era gone. One etched in memories."
