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.

For more on the St. Joseph's family of homes for children, visit the Broken Wings website.

'an urban romance' fine art print by myan

"Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow." ~ Imogen Cunningham

"Our home used to be a beautiful loft in the historic district of downtown Los Angeles. Downtown is one of my favorite places to photograph because I find the old buildings and the vibrant energy terribly romantic. The shimmering red stoplight in this shot made the perfect heart to reflect my love for this amazing city." ~ Myan

Myan is an artist/photographer originally from the east coast, but who's now wide-eyed and smitten with her new hometown of Los Angeles. "I am greatly inspired by my environment and any opportunity to convey life in one little box full of light, colors, and imagination," she says. She can also be found "painting, ingesting gobs of sweets & tea, and harassing my dear hubby & our crazy critters!"

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.
