When Your Donation of an Auction Item Goes a Long, Long Way

This is one of our seniors who lives as Auberge des Vieillards 

(Inn for the Elderly) in Pignon, Haiti.  

He needs extra care because he has a lesion on his leg 

that just won't heal.  

Every day the lesion is cleaned and dressed.  

Three times a day he eats nutritious meals.  

Every night he sleeps safely in his own bed.

These simple, basic realities are possible only because of the combined factors of the vision of Pastor Abdon, and the support of people like you.  Moved with compassion at the sight of forgotten seniors begging on the street, Pastor Abdon and his wife Lumide, who is a nurse, have gathered their small congregation around the care of vulnerable seniors in their district.  This is no small task in a country as destitute as Haiti.  Especially now, as gang violence, political confusion, and economic chaos runs rampant.

In Canada, Highview, along with others similarly inspired, have gathered to first build the residence itself, and now support the seniors who live there.  

That's what our Haiti Dinner and Silent Auction is all about.

There are many ways you can contribute.

One fun way is to donate a service or an item to be auctioned off.

Perhaps you have a business, or provide a service, and you could donate a product or your time and expertise.

We'd love to showcase your business, and of course, all proceeds go to Auberge des Vieillards through the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada.
