Jean Marc Dorvil and his family need our help.  In 2021 when the president of Haiti was assassinated, gangs took over the country.  (They are still a very big part of the unrest in there).  Jean Marc and his family were attacked by armed gangs.  Fearing for their lives, they escaped in the night to the Dominican Republic.  Though they are now safe, their living conditions are grim.  

The family of 5 share one bedroom.  They can't afford to pay their rent or even provide enough food for their family.  

The father Juan Carlos has a small job for which they are so grateful.  He is a barber.  Sadly his income cannot provide for the family.  At least he is doing everything he can!

Dominican Starfish Foundation in partnership with our sponsors and donors plan to build a home which includes a barber shop for the Dorvil family. 

The family attend church and work as missionaries bringing other people to  Christ.  Though their life is still very difficult in the Dominican Republic, they are so grateful for their blessings.

Two of their 3 daughters attend school.  

Kim Hamilton who has helped now with 6 homes in the Dominican Republic, has generously offered to sponsor this family to help them have a new home.  Again she will be raising funds by selling her famous Caramel Apples.

Thanks to everyone who supports her in this effort.  By supporting her, you are also supporting people in the Dominican Republic who are suffering in poverty.  It takes a team to make this happen.  THANK YOU KIM FOR YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT!  

We are also so very grateful to Roxane Quaranta and Walt Lorgan who have generously provided the family with a plot of land for us to build their home!  They have blessed so many families who don't own their own property with a place to build a home, and we are so grateful to them.  

Dominican Starfish Foundation appreciates everyone who helps.  It really takes a lot of assistance.  Here is how you can be part of this project too.  Any size donation is so appreciated!  

As always, 100% of your donation goes toward the projects you help with.  Of course your donations qualify for charitable tax receipts in Canada and the USA. 

Your apple orders from Kim will help so much, as well as any donations you can spare for the Dorvil family!

 This is another home that Kim Hamilton raised funds for and Walt and Roxane helped with the land.
