Fundraising

In Miami, HUFH Board Member Kevin Sharpley, has been working around the clock to collect donations for the earthquake relief effort, and to organize fund raising benefits for HUFH. Collaborating with local businesses including Ebenenaturals, he has managed to collect essential items that will be shipped out to Haiti for earthquake survivors.

Kevin has also been instrumental in the organization of One love for Haiti, a benefit concert for Haiti Relief.
This Valentine’s Day give the gift of love and help the Haitian community by attending the ‘One Love for Haiti’ Benefit Relief Concert at the BankUnited Center at the University of Miami on Sunday, February 14th from 6PM-10PM.

In Miami, Haitian-born Ron Duprat, perhaps best known from Bravo’s hit TV series “Top Chef” has teamed up with four fellow contestants, Mattin Noblia, Hector Santiago and Michael V. to welcome other fine chefs across the country in an all-chef Relief Benefit on St. Valentine’s Day for his native land. On February 14, all participating chefs and restaurants will donate up to 10 percent of their receipts to Hearts for Haiti: An American Dining Relief Benefit. The donated funds will be divided between two charities: Hollywood Unites For Haiti and Kinship Circle Disaster Relief. One hundred percent of the donated funds will go directly to on-the-ground relief efforts. Restaurants who wish to participate can contact

So many people have given their time, expertise, and money to help HUFH help in Haiti, too many to mention but I thank you all.

HUFH continues its work with panamericanrelief.org to deliver aid to families. HUFH is also creating and supporting existing centers which provide shelter, food and safety for displaced youth at a time when they are most vulnerable to exploitation.

Thanks for the support!
