Dear Friends of Melissa’s Place,
As we mark the tenth anniversary of Melissa’s Place, we are thrilled to share a significant milestone- thanks to your generous support, we have raised 80% of the funds required to build a new school on donated land right next to Melissa’s Place!

" This school is not just a building; it's a beacon of hope. It will provide safe, accessible education to the children of Melissa's Place and extend learning opportunities to the broader community. Nestled in the heart of beautiful western Haiti, the people and culture of the area have a powerful resilient spirit, make their living from farming and agriculture, and we think makes it the perfect place to nurture young minds. "
Construction has begun, laying a solid foundation that symbolizes the growth and potential of our mission.
At Melissa’s Place, we strive to open doors to futures filled with opportunity, dignity, and love. This school will empower our children to dream big and build brighter futures for themselves and their community.
Your donations will cover the majority of construction costs but additional funds will be necessary for desks and school supplies. Please keep the orphanage and school in mind for your 2024 tax deductible donation.
Also, please consider sharing the link to our Melissa’s Place website (melissaplace.org) with anyone who you think would like to be part of our journey.
Our heartfelt thanks.
Jerry & Helen Shelly
