The Blessing of Giving: Stories from Continuous Donors
At Cabaret Haiti Mission (CHM), continuous donors are the heartbeat of our ministry. Their steady gifts—month after month, year after year—sustain daily meals, education, and care for children and families in Haiti. Yet what many discover along the way is that the blessings of giving flow both ways.
In this month’s donor spotlight, several longtime contributors shared what inspires them to stay connected to CHM and how consistent generosity has transformed their own lives.
Why They Give: Inspired by Faith and Compassion
“Knowing I’m helping improve a child’s life.”

This donor’s journey with Cabaret Haiti Mission began when friends returned from a mission trip filled with stories of hope and resilience.“Knowing I am helping improve a child’s life is such a blessing. Even when I can’t be there in person, I know my gift continues the work.”
For them, giving has become a way to stay close to the children and staff who remind us what faith in action looks like.
“You will be richly blessed.”

This supporter first connected with CHM during a 2015 mission trip to Haiti and quickly fell in love with the people and the mission. “Our Bible Connect Group has continued to support CHM because we’ve seen firsthand how lives are changed.” Their message to others is simple and heartfelt: “To anyone thinking about donating—do it. You will be richly blessed.”
“A joyous reminder of the work God is doing.”

This donor’s relationship with Cabaret Haiti Mission began during college, while serving as an intern.“It’s been a joyous reminder of the work that God is doing there. When I first visited Haiti, I met children whose smiles and faith still inspire me today.” Years later, their consistent giving continues to nurture the same hope and growth they once witnessed in person. “It’s beautiful to see hope sustained over time.”
“I’ve watched a child grow up.”
Anonymous Donor, giving for 5+ years
One long-time supporter shared how personal giving has become for them. “I have sponsored a child since he was seven years old. Watching him grow up has been one of the greatest blessings of my life.” After visiting CHM as a college student, they saw how each monthly gift provided nourishment, stability, and opportunity. “CHM may be the only hope for a child to be fed, educated, and shown the love of Christ.”
“One child, one donation, one future.”

This donor’s connection to CHM began in 2012 when she first visited Haiti. “That trip to the CHM children’s home changed my life. I knew I wanted to be involved in the mission, which led to monthly giving and daily prayers.”Her ongoing support reflects her deep love for the people of Cabaret.“It has allowed me to focus on a mission beyond my daily life—to provide for a child I have never met, to help bring hope to a community I love, and, more importantly, to share the love of Christ.”
Even after more than a decade, her memories remain vivid.“Thirteen years later I still remember the smiling faces of the CHM children when we first entered the gates in Cabaret. They are full of life and love—that’s why I’m involved. The children are the heart of the organization.”
Her encouragement to others is a heartfelt call to action: “A small monthly donation can change the life of a child. One child, one donation, one relationship, and one future—that’s all it takes.”
The Shared Reward of Continuous Giving
While each story is unique, a common thread unites them: ongoing generosity brings lasting joy. Continuous donors make it possible for CHM to plan ahead, meet daily needs, and expand programs without interruption. But they also receive something invaluable in return—connection, gratitude, and purpose.
When asked what they would tell a first-time donor, the responses were heartfelt and unanimous:
- “You will be richly blessed.”
- “If you’re thinking about being a donor, do it!”
- “This mission changes lives—yours included.”
A Ripple of Hope That Keeps Moving
Every gift—large or small—creates a ripple of hope that touches more lives than we can count. Continuous donors aren’t just supporters; they are family. Their steadfast kindness ensures that Cabaret Haiti Mission continues to be a beacon of light in a world that needs it.
