Aunt Lucie's Story
How one woman's love for Haiti changed everything
Friends For Haitian Relief was born out of a deep, personal connection to the people of Haiti — and it all began with Aunt Lucie.
Lucie was a woman of extraordinary faith and compassion. Born and raised in Haiti, she carried the spirit of her homeland with her throughout her life — its warmth, its resilience, and its deep sense of community. Even after leaving Haiti, she never stopped caring for the people she left behind.
She spent decades quietly serving others, sending what little she could back to families in need, praying for the children who went to bed hungry, and dreaming of a day when things would be different. Her love for Haiti was not sentimental — it was active, sacrificial, and unwavering.
Aunt Lucie's love for Haiti is not sentimental — it is active, sacrificial, and unwavering. Her life became the spark that lit a fire in the hearts of those around her, inspiring them to ask: how do we match a love like hers? The answer was clear. We show up for Haiti the way she always has — with open hands and an open heart.
Friends For Haitian Relief, Inc. was founded in her honor and in her spirit. Every meal we provide, every child we help send to school, every medical need we meet — it is all an extension of what Aunt Lucie has poured into Haiti through decades of faithful, quiet service.
We invite you to be part of this story. Not just Aunt Lucie's story — but Haiti's story. A story that is still being written, one act of generosity at a time.
