Miles for Smiles

Nate Whiting completed 202 miles in under 71 hours between May 16th and May 19th!! While Nate met his mileage goal, we will continue to work together to meet his fundraising goal of $30,000 for the kids in Haiti, served through Holistic Haitian Alliance. Our fundraiser will remain OPEN! Let's do this TOGETHER!

Since Holistic Haitian Alliance, formerly known as Helping Haitian Angels, was founded in 2008 we have pursued one unwavering objective – that families and communities in Haiti would thrive!

We are not the only ones with this dream. Our Haitian brothers and sisters are helping us on a daily basis to achieve this goal. And together, our programs are working! Our growing alliance includes our children, over 70 employees, local community leadership, government officials, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and our supporters. In the past 15 years, we have evolved from a home for orphaned and abandoned children to a community pillar for strengthening families, education, and collaboration through our Kay Anj Village.

Our joint efforts are transforming families and our community, and we are seeing improved outcomes in academic achievement, emotional care, social responsibility, and sustainable community practices.

Kay Anj Village (KAV) is located on 40 acres in the Haitian commune of Dekle, just outside of Cap-Haitien. In addition to our foster homes, KAV has an education campus with primary, secondary, and vocational schools; a dental clinic, five farms, transitional care for young adults, volunteer housing, and is home to Hope Church.

Nate Whiting (16) is a remarkable kid, who has decided to run 200 miles in an effort to raise awareness and funds for us to provide additional services for children and families in our Kay Anj community. Nate was able to volunteer for a week at KAV last November 2023, and he saw firsthand how incredible the children are as he ran with them each evening, played with them, assisted his grandparents in the dental clinic, and visited the school classes to practice English and LEGO robotics with students. Nate hopes the funds from his ultramarathon will benefit the dental clinic, schools, and health services for all the children and families who come to KAV. Please support Nate's effort to run miles for smiles in Haiti!

Nate will attempt to run 200 miles in 72 hours in an ultramarathon from May 16th 9:00 am - May 19th 9:00 am in New Jersey at a race called "3 Days at the Fair." In June 2023 Nate ran 104 miles in 24 hours and raised over $15,000 for HHA. This year he hopes to double his mileage and double the donations to benefit HHA! Thank you so much for your support!
