Progress Report: Haiti

Haley Schultz • May 14, 2018

This is the latest update for the Hurricane Matthew Disaster Relief funds regarding the rebuilding projects in Les Irois and Les Cayes.

Les Irois:

The six homes that were left to be rebuilt were completed at the end of last month. In February of 2018, Charles Ham, Ian Correa, and I (Chantal Cornely) were able to visit these homes as they were being built and speak to the beneficiaries. During that visit, they all expressed such thanks for HOPEww and for the help that they were receiving. At the completion of their homes, they let Margarette who is the project manager in Haiti and Martine Philogene who is the contractor in charge of building the homes know how grateful they are for their new homes and thank God for HOPEww and Hww Haiti.

Les Cayes:

There are three homes left to be built on a parcel of land that was purchased last December for threebeneficiariesand their families who live in very vulnerable situations. One house was reported as being completed but, needs some finishing work on the inside. The family is able to live in the house. When the work begins in Les Cayes the work on this home will be the priority. Although the work in Les Cayes has not yet begun, we believe that the homes will be completed before the term of the Grant Agreement.

Thanks to all for their generosity and hearts to give.

Remembering Dave Tomlinson

September 1, 2026

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and brother, Dave Tomlinson. Dave was a beloved part of the HOPE worldwide family who served in many capacities throughout his time with us, most recently as Chief Operating Officer before his retirement. He also played an important role in our Global Disaster Response and Community Service Brigades teams, serving alongside his wife, Angela. More than the roles he held, Dave was a cherished friend whose warmth, kindness, and genuine spirit touched so many people. His care for others was evident in the way he served, led, and built relationships with people around the world. Dave had a remarkable ability to encourage, uplift, and connect with people, reflecting God's love in both his leadership and his friendships. We will miss Dave deeply and are grateful for the many ways he gave of himself to HOPE worldwide and to the amazing people we get to serve. We’re holding Angela and their family close in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dave’s presence will be deeply missed, but his faith, love, and example will remain in our hearts forever and his legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
