Giving Miami Day supporting ACT with Rachelle

.

Haiti has always been more than a birthplace for me — it is the foundation of my resilience, my compassion, and the way I show up in the world. My identity, my leadership, my purpose… all of it is shaped by the stories, the courage, and the unwavering spirit of the Haitian people. And as I grow, serve, and lead, I feel an even deeper responsibility to pour back into the land and the people who shaped me.

That is why Ayiti Community Trust holds such a sacred place in my heart.

ACT is one of the few organizations committed to Haitian-led, Haitian-driven solutions. Not aid that fades. Not programs decided from afar. But real, sustainable investment in civic education, environmental restoration, and entrepreneurship — the pillars that give Haiti its strongest chance to rise on its own terms. The work aligns with everything I believe in: dignity, community, innovation, and the power of our people to rebuild their own future.

But the truth is this: Haiti is at a critical moment, and so are we.

Our communities continue to push forward with bravery and brilliance, even under the weight of unimaginable challenges. They’re not waiting to be saved — they’re leading with courage. And they deserve support that honors their strength.

That’s why I’ve committed to raising funds for Ayiti Community Trust.

Our goal is bold, but necessary: $25,000 to fuel Haitian-led progress that lasts.

This fundraiser directly supports youth leaders, local innovators, environmental programs, and community-led projects that create real, lasting change. Every single contribution — big or small — becomes part of a collective force for hope, opportunity, and long-term stability in Haiti.

So today, I’m inviting you to stand with me.

If my work, my voice, or my mission has ever inspired you…

If you believe in dignity, equity, and the power of community…

If you’ve ever felt connected to Haiti’s story, its people, or its spirit…

Then I’m asking you to join me in this moment.

Together, we can uplift a nation that has given the world so much.

Together, we can honor Haiti’s legacy while investing in its future.

Together, we can be part of a movement that doesn’t just react to crisis — it builds resilience, opportunity, and hope from the inside out.

Thank you for standing with me.

Thank you for believing in Haiti.

Thank you for supporting Ayiti Community Trust.

Let’s do this — for our people, for our history, and for the Haiti we know is possible.
