Safe in the Arms of Jesus is a sponsorship organization that was established to help support an orphanage in Jacmel, Haiti named Petits anges de Jacmel. I had the opportunity in August of 2014 to visit this orphanage and I fell in love! I bonded with one boy in particular and wanted to adopt him but it did not work out. That led me to create this organization so that I can, with your help, make sure that all the 30 children in this orphanage are taken care of.
The name "Safe in the arms of Jesus" is in memory of my son Landon who passed away at 5 months old. This is a phrase that has stuck with me since then. These beautiful children are safe in Jesus' arms as well!
Ever since my visit to the orphanage, I have had such a heart for all those children. I knew I was led to do something. Petits anges de Jacmel is run by a local Pastor who has the most wonderful heart. Pastor Placide does his best to provide for these children, but he is in need of a tremendous amount of help.
The money that you donate will go towards the orphanage as a whole. They are in need of medical and dental attention along with adequate food and clean drinking water. Currently they are getting one poor meal a day and they don't always have clean water to drink. 100% of your donation will go directly towards the orphanage. You will be making such a huge impact in these kids' lives with your donations.
I would like to share one story from my trip down there that has been on my mind every single day, literally. There was a boy that was back by the cooking area and he kept chewing on his shirt and you could tell that he was in pain. I was with another member of our team and we were trying to communicate with him and ask what was wrong (they don't speak English....and I do not speak Creole!). We finally made some sort of progress in our communication and he opened his mouth and you could see an actual big cavity in his tooth. I felt absolutely helpless. I knew that there was absolutely nothing that I could do for him. I was instantly upset that I wasn't a dentist. I like to fix things and I could not fix him. And I knew that seeing a dentist wasn't just something that could be done instantly. Now with this organization they ALL will have the opportunity to see a dentist and a doctor.
We offer two different ways to donate. You can make a one time donation of any amount or become a monthly sponsor. Please be aware that for a monthly sponsorship it has to be at least $20. Upon making a commitment to donate monthly, I will mail you a picture of a child from the orphanage, including his or her name and age. If you become a monthly sponsor, I would please ask that you have your money in by the 1st of each month. I would love for Pastor Placide to be able to know when it is coming and plan accordingly. With your $20 donation these wonderful children will have many of their physical needs met without hesitation. It will go so far, you have no idea!
