Berlandjina's Story

At just 16 years old, Berlandiian carries a dream that is bigger than her circumstances.

She lives with her mother and three siblings. Life has not been easy for the family since the loss of her father. Her mother works hard to provide for the children, but meeting even basic needs can be a challenge. Despite these difficulties, Berlandjina remains determined to build a better future for herself and her community.

Every day, she goes to school with hope in her heart. She understands that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and creating opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach. Through the generosity of sponsors and the "Sending Kids to School" program organized by Hannah Zapletal, Berlandjina has been able to continue her education.

Berlandjina dreams of becoming a midwife. In her community, she has seen the heartbreaking reality that many women do not receive adequate care during pregnancy and childbirth. She wants to be part of the solution. She hopes that one day she can help mothers deliver their babies safely and provide compassionate care to families during one of the most important moments of their lives.

She is a bright and motivated young woman who believes that education can transform lives. Yet, without continued support, her opportunity to stay in school is uncertain.

By sponsoring Berlandjina, you are doing more than helping a student attend school. You are investing in a future healthcare worker, a future leader, and a young woman who is committed to serving others. Your support can help provide school fees, supplies, and the encouragement she needs to continue pursuing her dream.

For Berlandjina, sponsorship is not simply financial assistance, it is hope. It is the opportunity to keep learning, growing, and preparing for a future where she can make a lasting difference in the lives of others.

Thank you for considering becoming part of Berlandjina's journey.

All donations are tax deductible through this 501c3. $350 Will send her to school for the 2026/2027 school year. Would you sponsor her?

People sometimes ask me why Haiti still matters so deeply to me. The answer is simple. Haiti is home. 💛

I was born in Haiti to Canadian missionary parents and lived there until I was sixteen years old. I came to the United States for university. My childhood was not shaped by malls, sports teams, or suburban neighborhoods. I grew up in a small village where life was beautiful, difficult, and deeply connected to both people and survival.

I rode my horse to school all the way through high school.
Haiti is often called a “4th world country,” one of the poorest places in the world. Most families live without electricity, running water, sewer systems, reliable transportation, or dependable medical care. Travel happens by donkey, horse, motorcycle taxi, or crowded buses — if fuel can even be found. Today, gang violence controls many roads, making travel dangerous and incredibly expensive. A trip of only 160 miles to the capital can cost nearly $1,000 because of the risks involved.

But Haiti is also filled with resilient, hardworking, faithful people whom I love deeply. Many of our closest friends still live there. Though I no longer live in Haiti physically, part of my heart always will.

That is why we continue working with the local schools in our village and helping send children to school each year.
Because education changes everything.

In a place where illiteracy rates remain heartbreakingly high and opportunities are few, education becomes more than academics. It becomes hope. It gives children the chance to read, think, grow, and someday help lead their families and communities into a different future.

I know firsthand how powerful that opportunity can be.
And while I cannot change all of Haiti’s struggles, I can help one child at a time. 💛


My sisters and I on our way to school.

Would you be willing to sponsor her?

I would like to introduce you to you Dachenie Jaurismé in our program who has shown determination, perseverance, and a strong desire to succeed despite difficult circumstances.

She is now 18 years old and has been part of our educational program since 2021. She lives in Passe-Catabois, in the Northwest of Haiti, and comes from a large family with 10 children. Because of financial hardship, her parents have struggled to support the education of all their children, and some of her siblings were unable to finish school.

However, she has remained committed to her studies and continues to work hard toward her future. She is currently in 12th grade ( Secondary NSIII) and is expected to be in 13th grade ( Secondary IV) for academic year 2026-2027, this will be the last grade to finish school in Haiti. Her dream is to become a nurse so she can serve her community and help improve the lives of others.

We believe that investing in her education is an investment in hope, leadership, and the future of Haiti. With your support, she can continue her studies, complete her education, and pursue her dream career.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a lasting difference in a young person’s life.

All donations are tax deductible and you can make a profound difference in a child’s life. $350 Will send her to school for her last year of high school.

Would you consider sponsoring Odeon?

I would like to introduce you Odson Valsaint, a young student who comes from a very poor family and is in need of educational support.

Odson is currently in 3rd grade. Despite his young age and difficult living conditions, he continues to attend school and shows interest in learning. His family is struggling financially and is unable to fully support his education, including school fees, materials, and other basic needs.

Because of this situation, Odson is at risk of falling behind in his studies or even dropping out of school in the future if support is not provided. Yet he remains a child with great potential who deserves the chance to learn, grow, and build a better future.

With your support, Odson can continue his education and have the opportunity to succeed in school and life. Investing in his education today means giving him hope for tomorrow.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity toward Odson Valsaint.

All donations are tax deductible with our 501c3. You can mail a check to 5150 Oak Grove Circle, Cu***ng, Ga 30028 or PayPal.me/themaneeventequine

Who do we remember and honor

Did your family serve in the military? Do you have a brother, father, grandfather, Aunt, or Sister that are willing to put their life on the line to protect the values that we hold so dear?

Memorial day is to remember the fallen. The day that we celebrate heroes that were willing to lay down their life so that we could be free.

Free to go to work, free to attend school, free to gather together, free to drive over this great nation, free to pursue the purpose that God placed in our heart.

Freedom is not free. It comes at a terrible cost. And there are many courageous men and women who are willing to give it all to protect it.

As we go through this holiday, do not forget! Hold your family a little closer. Remember to honor the folks that aren’t coming home.

“No one has greater love than a person who lays down his life for his friends.”
‭‭John 15‬:‭13‬ ‭CJB‬‬

There’s something special about short stories that meet you right where you are in life.

From His Heart to Mine, Volume One is a collection of the first 365 stories I’ve written — little snapshots of life, faith, horses, childhood memories, lessons learned, laughter shared, and the many animals that have crossed our path along the journey.

Some stories may make you smile.
Some may bring back memories of your own.
Some may encourage your heart exactly when you need it most.

Each story is only about one to two minutes long, making it easy to read a little each day. The book is arranged with a date on every story so it can be enjoyed day-by-day throughout the year, almost like sitting down for a daily visit with a friend. Of course, many people have told me they couldn’t put it down and read straight through!

My hope in writing this book was simple:
To bring encouragement, humor, joy, comfort, and a reminder that even ordinary moments can hold extraordinary meaning.

It also makes a thoughtful gift for mothers, grandmothers, horse lovers, friends going through difficult seasons, or anyone who could use a little light added to their day.

If you already have a copy, thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting this journey. And if you’ve read it, reviews on Amazon mean so much and truly help others discover the book.

Signed copies are also available. You can bring me your Amazon copy to sign, or I can ship an author copy directly to you.

And for those already asking — yes, Volume Two is coming! It is currently scheduled to be available by the end of November 2026, and I cannot wait to share the next collection of stories with you all.

Thank you for walking this journey with me. ❤️

Tomorrow begins our 30th year of summer camp at WildeWood Farm, and honestly… I’m just as excited now as I was that very first summer. 💛

From the teacher’s side of camp, the first morning is always my favorite.

Cars pull in carrying children who are equal parts excited and nervous. Some bounce out ready for adventure. Others cling quietly to their parents while trying to decide if the horses are giant and magical… or giant and terrifying. Then someone squeals when they see the animals, and suddenly the whole week begins.

Parents arrive carrying coffee cups, schedules, and the weight of busy lives, trying to decide whether to linger awhile or drop and go. Either option is perfectly fine around here — though if you stay too long, there’s always a chance you may get recruited to help hold ponies or refill water buckets. 😄

One of the things I love most is watching children experience real animals up close for perhaps the very first time. So many kids today know animals mostly through movies, television, or screens. But camp is different. Here they smell the horses, feel fuzzy noses, hear nickers, brush the horses, feed animals, laugh at goats, and discover that living creatures all have personalities, emotions, and stories of their own.

And somewhere during the week, fear turns into confidence. Nervousness turns into pride. Strangers become friends.

Thirty years later, that transformation still feels like magic to me.

And the best part? There is still room in all of our camps! Last-minute campers are always welcome to join the adventure. 🐴💛

She needs a sponsor.

I would like to introduce you to Adline Fertil, a young student who is currently in 3rd grade and comes from a very poor family.

Adline is a bright child who is eager to learn, but she faces additional challenges in her daily life. She has a disability in her right eye and cannot see well with it. This condition makes her schoolwork and learning more difficult, especially without proper medical care or support.

In addition to her health challenges, Adline’s family is struggling financially and is unable to fully support her education, including school fees, learning materials, and medical needs related to her vision.

Despite these difficulties, Adline continues to attend school and shows courage and determination. She deserves the opportunity to learn in a safe and supportive environment where her needs are taken into consideration.

Your support would help Adline continue her education and also access the care she needs for her eyesight. Investing in her future will give her hope, confidence, and the chance to succeed in life.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity toward Adline Fertil.
