Danita's Children

Our mission at Danita's Children is to rescue, love, and care for orphans. There was an orphan crisis in Haiti BEFORE the earthquake hit and now the numbers are beyond comprehension.

Our decision to take in these orphans is a long-term commitment, so we need your help and support!
