Make a secure online donation to a donor advised fund we have established to receive tax deductible contributions. Funds raised will be disbursed to Healing Haiti and organizations that support special needs adoptions as the funds are needed by those organizations for the purposes below.

Healing Haiti (www.healinghaiti.org). 2/3 of the funds raised will be used to support job training and entrepreneurship in Haiti. We are trying to raise funds to support job creation via construction of a training center, microfinancing, and helping to start small businesses (sewing, manufacturing

Special needs adoptions. 1/3 of the funds raised will help support adoptions of children with special needs (eg. Reece's Rainbow www.reecesrainbow.org). Dan & Gretchen's son, Stas, was discovered through Reece's Rainbow. Reece's Rainbow is a charity which advocates and fundraises for the international adoption of children with Downs Syndrome and other disabilities. In 2010 Reece's Rainbow was named People Magazine's Hero of the Year. In the U.S., most babies diagnosed with Down Syndrome never make it to delivery. There is no shortage of families wanting to adopt children with Down syndrome, just a shortage of funds for international adoption. Thank you for making a family a reality for these children.
