H.E.A.R.T.S. Gift Giving Program




THIS CHRISTMAS, SHARE
THE GIFT OF HOPE

WITH THE POOREST OF

THE POOR

Give gifts in a family member or friend’s name to help Haitian children.


Your gift will help Haitian children to receive the education they desperately need to overcome the poverty endemic to their county.

Imagine your Christmas gift supplying a uniform, books, shoes, and a backpack for a Haitian child; tuition so that they might attend school for the very first time; the salary for a teacher who earns the equivalent of $60 USD per month.

Every dollar you give will have a meaningful impact on the children of Haiti attending one of the 4 schools supported by H.E.A.R.T.S. (Haitians Educated And Ready To Serve).

To donate call (519) 843-3565 and talk to Sandra Woods at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Fergus, Ontario, Canada.  Donations by cheque can also be mailed to Sandra at the following address:

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church

325 St. George Street West

Fergus, ON, Canada, N1M 1J4


All Canadian donations will receive a receipt for income tax purposes.

You will receive a handmade Haitian gift card to give family members
 and your friends this Christmas
