In The New Home!
We know things are hard in Haiti, and it would be hard for me to express the frustration and sadness I have felt over the past few years. I know that many of you who love ATN and our kids feel it too. The only thing I can say about that is that we are making a difference, our kids are going to come out of this ready to live incredible lives, and we are so thankful that each of you have joined us on this journey. -
We are Moving!
The final thing I wanted to share is that 4 of our house Moms, we have found out, were greatly effected by the flooding in Haiti that killed dozens in our area. There homes, while not destroyed, are damaged and they each need some work to make them livable again. -
Gangs in Haiti Move North, Attack Cabaret
Last week, I wrote about living each day to the fullest for GOD, and in that sense there is always a part of us that should consider every moment that we have is a blessing.
For our friends in Cabaret, our brothers and sisters in Haiti, and our kids and employees at All Things New, that reality is how they live every single day.

ATN's 2022 In Review

Planning For The Future
But, how do you plan for the future when the present is complete chaos? How do you plan for the future when you can only get past the day with the resources you have? How do you plan for the future when nothing is guaranteed and everything around you seems to be in disarray? -
Resiliency
Resiliency is one of those words that, while it is a positive descriptive word for a person, it is an adjective gained through difficult circumstances. If you have ever heard someone say, "Don't pray for patience because GOD just might give it to you" then you know what I am talking about. There are some words that we believe to be positive, but we really want them to be used to describe other people. -
Our Kids Took A Trip!
The truth is that the past few years have been really difficult. They have been difficult on our kids, on our employees, on our organization, and on our family as well. With all of the uncertainty in Haiti, the danger in Haiti, the difficulty of fundraising during Covid, and not being able to be physically present as much as we would like things are hard. The kids needed this and they had a lot of fun.
