“Why We Give to MFK”

A reflection from our donors

My wife and I have been blessed. Let’s face it, if you are living in the US, you are blessed with extreme wealth compared to Haitians.

We give for Love:
We’ve all held a baby or small child. We see their innocence. We see their potential. We see their dependence on us to help them develop. How can I say that I have love in my heart yet ignore a child who is going to die if I don’t help?

We give because of Logic:
We have closely examined how MFK uses their money, and know that our gifts are spent on saving children’s lives, not administrative waste. We give every month. We sometimes give during a fundraiser. We have also designated a portion of the inheritance we will leave behind to Meds & Food for Kids.

We give because it makes a real difference.

“In fragile settings, the nexus of humanitarian aid and development is where we translate compassion into actual resilience,” Chris said. “We need to look at things like school meals as not just charity, but as the creation of the infrastructure that is needed for a better tomorrow.”

“Agriculture is not peripheral to peace. It is actually peace in motion. We need to pursue the policies and activities that actually achieve the outcomes children need,” he added.

“When we’re facing these complex problems, we need to acknowledge that they require comprehensive solutions, that they should be humanitarian when needed, always developmental by design and local at every level,” Chris concluded.
