MAJOR IMPACT POINTS

LAUGH OUT LOUD CHILDREN'S HOME
BELIZE
​
FHF is deeply committed to the well-being of children in Belize. The rates of sexual and physical abuse, along with teenage pregnancies, have reached alarming levels.
Our goal is to help these young individuals, who have faced significant hardships, to discover love, healing, and essential life skills. By empowering them, we aim to enable them to make a positive impact on their own generation and those that follow.

Sonein has held a deep connection to Africa since she felt the Lord's call at just seven years old.
​
An estimated 30,000 children live in 750 orphanages in Haiti. 80 percent of these children are not actually orphans. We believe in keeping families together. A family-based care model provides a nurturing, supportive, and inclusive environment for children and families.
​
myLIFEspeaks works closely with Haitian Child Services to create infrastructure so abandoned and neglected children don’t fall through the cracks. We provide family-based orphan care, similar to that of foster care in the US, for children who have truly been orphaned, neglected, and abandoned; many of whom have been discarded due to their special needs. We work to place as many children as possible with loving forever families, and keep them out of orphanages, off the streets, and out of danger.



​
Every great organization begins with a turning point moment that calls us to action.
​
When disaster strikes, Mercy Chefs is there. MC provides hot, chef-prepared meals and clean drinking water to victims, volunteers, and first responders in the aftermath of natural disasters and emergencies. Since our founding, we have served over 30 million meals and responded to more than 220 disasters in 33 U.S. states and territories and 33 countries.
​
Their six fully equipped mobile kitchens are able to serve up to 20,000 meals per day. Strategically positioned to deploy at a moment’s notice, these mobile kitchens are self-sustaining, equipped to operate without power, and capable of purifying drinking water on-site. This allows teams to serve in even the most devastated communities where needs are urgent.
​
Behind every meal is a chef with unwavering commitment, even in the toughest conditions. FHF has had the opportunity to stand by some of these amazing chefs. In disaster zones, where supply shortages and equipment failures are common, MC presses forward to prepare nourishing meals made with love and care.
​
Whether responding to hurricanes, floods, or even war, MC experienced team offers more than food; we bring hope, strength, and dignity.
​
"Something amazing happens over a shared meal." Founder, Chef Gary LeBlanc, speaks to our hearts.
Mercy Chefs, aims to provide comfort and a sense of normalcy to those facing unimaginable loss, often on the worst day of their lives.
​
For MC, it’s never just about the numbers; it’s about reaching the one in their moment of greatest need with a meal that reminds them that they are not forgotten.

THE BLAST
Cook Children's hematology and oncology center treats infants, children, adolescents and young adults with all types of cancer. While our primary service area is the six contiguous counties surrounding Tarrant County, our referral area is more than 121,000 square miles in size, roughly the size of the entire state of New Mexico.
The Blast was started to honor the promise Alexa Sankary made to her friend, Michael Mancuso, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at the age of four. Before he passed away just three years later, she promised him she would help find a cure for children still suffering from this rare and aggressive form of cancer.
In the 18 years since that sweet promise, The Blast has become a wonderful community walk honoring Michael’s memory and every child fighting pediatric cancer. It celebrates the courage and strength of Cook Children's patients and families and the staff who support them.
Cook Children's works hard to bring more world-class treatments and clinical trials to Fort Worth, so patients can receive the lifesaving care they need closer to home.
