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!

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.

meet EVENCIA 💕

Evencia was brought into our clinic in April. She was born prematurely to a young couple and was just a little over one-month-old upon admission, weighing only 4 pounds 5 ounces. She was diagnosed with Marasmus malnutrition and spent 43 days inpatient. In that time, she gained well over three pounds, her mama was given access to much-needed support, and together they were able to return home.

For the past six months, she's been seen regularly in our follow-up program. She now weighs almost 17 pounds & continues to thrive at home.

Evencia could have easily become a statistic, losing her life to malnutrition, but thanks to the support of our programs, she has a bright future ahead of her 🥰

The best way to support our programs & bring healing to more babies like Evencia is to join our $30k in 30 days campaign - a year-end fundraiser that helps us build a solid foundation for the new year!

We’ve been walking alongside a special family since 2023 after the older brothers, Soniel and Wilson, graduated from our inpatient program after a 45 day stay. Their transformations were remarkable and they've been attending school and thriving at home.

But this last year, their situation took a tragic turn. Forced to flee the escalating gang violence in the Kenscoff mountains, they relocated to the Tet Dlo area. However, their new home is inadequate, with no latrine, a leaking roof, and two small rooms for eight people. Their possessions and livelihood were stolen, and now the children are once again gravely malnourished.

In mid-November, Roselene, the younger sister, was admitted to our center. Soniel followed, and last week, Wilson was brought in unconscious, severely dehydrated and starving after surviving on water for days. He had gone to school for four consecutive days without food and was dangerously close to death. Thanks to our team, Wilson was stabilized after three days and sent home with enough food for two weeks. His siblings are still inpatient (shown here), but the situation is dire.

Their family is just ONE of 173 families, that we have identified, displaced by gang violence this past year. While we continue to provide inpatient care and follow-up support, it often feels like we can never do enough. But with your donation, we can continue providing life-saving care, give hope to families like theirs, and empower the caregivers who make it all possible.

This work matters because every person we serve—every child, every caregiver, every family—deserves the chance to thrive. Your contribution to our year-end campaign can make all the difference.

✨THANK YOU✨ for standing on MIDDLE GROUND with our team in Haiti as they fight on the front lines each and every day.
