FROM THE FRONTLINES 📣

Our second newsletter introducing you to the heroes on the frontlines - our staff! - was just sent out!

To protect their identities, these interviews will only be shared in e-mail, so now is the perfect time to make sure you're on our list! You can easily sign up through the link at the bottom of our website: https://middlegroundhaiti.org

Today's e-mail features Marie, our dedicated & compassionate cook, who prepares all the meals for children, caregivers, and staff!

The work she is doing means a lot to her because she recognizes how vital nutrition is to the children MG serves. When they arrive, they’re in very poor condition, but just after a short period, they can be totally transformed. Her favorite way to describe the transformations is like someone who just returned from a trip overseas and had too much to eat! She says this to highlight and praise the incredible work being done at the center. Beyond cooking, she loves taking care of others and is attentive to their needs.

Last month, our staff dedicated an entire day to deep cleaning every inch of the inpatient center! We are endlessly grateful for their resiliency and their unwavering commitment to showing up each and every day. Their dedication is what keeps this space not just operating, but also welcoming and safe.

Next week, we’re honored to introduce another extraordinary team member in our FROM THE FRONTLINES series: a monthly spotlight celebrating the remarkable individuals who serve on the frontlines and make our mission possible.

FROM THE FRONTLINES 📣

Middle Ground will now be sending monthly emails introducing you to the heroes on the frontlines: our staff!

The first email was just delivered and introduced our incredibly devoted & hope-filled social worker, Menesly. To protect their identities, these interviews will only be shared in e-mail, so now is the perfect time to make sure you're on our list! You can easily sign up through the link at the bottom of our website: https://middlegroundhaiti.org

When asked why the work of MG matters to him, he responded with,

"We live in a country where things that should be essential for everyone have become extreme luxuries. Needs are increasing daily, especially for those living in extreme poverty who cannot access the necessities. There is no social assistance provided either by local authorities or the central government. Therefore, having an institution like MG, which fights against malnutrition, is truly a blessing. MG stands as a thread of hope in the dark night of a humanitarian, food, and security crisis. Being part of such an institution is an honor."

✨ a thread of hope in the dark night ✨

Your support of MG not only saves lives, but empowers our staff to continue showing up on the frontlines each and every day!

✨ jumping on the 2016 throwback trend, which just so happens to be the year we opened our malnutrition inpatient center! ✨

In 2016, we admitted 79 children for malnutrition care and began developing what would become all of our wrap-around programs. Humble beginnings that have led to so much growth. In 2025, we celebrated our 1,000th admission!

We anticipate great need ahead of us in the coming year, but with the dedication of our staff & the support of SO many, we look forward with confidence, knowing our programs have been built to meet the critical needs & provide sustainable support to the children we serve.

Enjoy a few throwback photos of children we served in 2016! 💕

We're officially working on our 2025 ANNUAL REPORT;
here's a quick snapshot of what we were able to accomplish! ✨

To keep our doors open & serve more children in 2026, our biggest need is to see more people link arms with us and join the COALITION.

How do you join? It's simple. Commit any dollar amount (none is too small, even $10/month provides essential labs or $20/month provides a can of formula) that will be donated on a monthly basis. By joining the Coalition, you'll receive an email at the beginning of each month with specific updates and success stories. You'll be linking arms with other like-minded individuals, helping us eradicate malnutrition in Haiti!

If we can get the foundation of the Coalition to grow by $2500/month in 2026, we will be able to open more beds and serve MORE children! More children served = more lives saved!

Happy New Year! 🥂✨💕 Bon Ane Tout Moun!

Thank you for standing on MIDDLE GROUND with us in 2025,
we pray this coming year holds restoration, peace across Haiti, and less children facing malnourishment!

In 2025, 110 children were admitted into our care for malnutrition.

One of those children is WENDY 💕
Wendy was just 11 months old when she was admitted, weighing only 18 pounds. She was battling moderate malnutrition and living in an extremely vulnerable situation with two young parents.

During her 36 days as an inpatient, Wendy gained over four pounds, strength, and a future. She even celebrated her first birthday at our center. Today, she is recovered and entering our follow-up program, with the hope of celebrating many, many more birthdays to come.

Stories like Wendy’s are only possible because of generous donors like you.

⏰ There are just 48 HOURS LEFT in our year-end campaign. ⏰
We are so close to reaching our goal — and every gift right now has the power to push us across the finish line before the new year begins.

If you’ve been thinking about giving, this is the moment. Help us ensure that more children like Wendy get the chance to grow, thrive, and celebrate another birthday.

Merry Christmas 🎅🏿🎄❄️🎁✨

Last week, we had a holiday party at Middle Ground. Almathe's exact words were, "it was fantastic, it was awesome, it was such a blessing!"

Over 100 families attended and all the children in attendance received a small gift, too. For many of them it was the first Christmas party they ever attended, and maybe even for some, the first wrapped gift they ever received, too. Thanks to a generous donor, we were also able to send the families home with food kits to have food through the holidays. The kits included rice, beans, pasta, sardines, milk, and various other items.

Enjoy some candid photos from the party!

Wishing you all a very merry & joy-filled Christmas🎄

As joyful as all of our Christmas celebrations are, they coincide with real and urgent needs. The suffering and malnutrition the babies are facing is extreme, and the cost of care is significant—but so is the impact of your generosity. A year-end gift to our $30k in 30 Days campaign is more than a donation; it is a life-restoring act of love for the littlest ones in our care.

We've made great progress the past few days with 72% of the funds now raised! We have nine days left in the month, can we reach this goal for our own Christmas miracle? Together, we can make it happen, gifting these babies the gift of life!

This week in Haiti a much deserved party to celebrate our staff will be taking place.
As we reflect on how far our programs have come, we must acknowledge the staff, who has not only sustained Middle Ground, but expanded it! They’ve refined programs to better serve families while also shaping them around their own unique gifts and passions.

Some staff who come quickly to mind are:
B, who has poured her heart into family advocacy, walking alongside families through their most vulnerable moments. P, who worked tirelessly for years to become our Head Nurse, bringing skill, compassion, and steady leadership to our medical care. Rosita, who continues to build bridges with community leaders, strengthening trust and collaboration beyond our walls. C, whose passion for education has transformed how we support caregivers, equipping them with tools that truly change outcomes for children. *shortened to initials for protection*

These leaders show up every day amid uncertainty and unrest. Some days, they risk their lives just to get to work. And still, they choose perseverance. They choose to fight for Haiti's future by caring for her children. They choose to lead with courage.

Thanks to your generosity, we are over half way toward our $30,000 goal. With 15 days left in the month, we are holding on to hope that this goal can be fully met! Your year-end gift helps ensure these dedicated leaders have the resources they need to keep saving babies, serving families, expanding programs, and showing what’s possible for Haiti's future even in the midst of crisis.

Together, we can continue to invest in the people who have truly risen to the occasion.
