My vision is a vision of hope for the children of Haiti. I want them to dream BIG and not limit their thinking to where they are at the moment. Let them know there is hope for them to see and live in a bigger and greater world. I know I serve a big God and I expect big things from Him. I do not want to see no one perish out of desperation. Suicide is never the answer to any situation! I am a big advocate against youth suicide! I will do whatever it takes to stop a youth (or adult) from going that direction. The devil is a liar and he will be exposed for who he is.

​

As a nurse, a counselor, and minister, it is my call, my duty, my obligation and my heartfelt desire, to bring light into their dark world. It has not been easy, but I also know I serve the God of the impossible and of miracles, so I know I can do all things through Him who strengthen me. That’s the message I want to leave with them: Think big, Aim high.
