Alternative Chance is an unfunded program in great need of financial assistance. Any amount will be greatly appreciated and well spent on services for Criminal Deportees in Haiti -- including medical care, medicine, food, water, job training materials, temporary housing, help for the mentally ill, etc.
To help keep this program going please donate funds, please use the donate button below. If you need your donation to be tax deductible, please write us at altchance@aol.com and we will send you the information for our fiscal sponsor. Thank you for you help and compassion.
To change lives, we need laptops, digital cameras, printers, books in english that teach skills or vocations (we lost most of our library in the earthquake), business shirts, etc.
To save lives we need cholera supplies (water treatment tablets, rehydration mixture packets), high blood pressure and diabetes medicines, etc.
Alternative Chance was built on volunteer help. In the past we have had volunteer help from teachers, photographers, computer teachers, doctors, counselors, alternatives to violence trainers, etc.
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer your time, for a day, a week, a month, a year. We need help with fundraising, job training, counseling, etc.
Please contact Michelle Karshan at altchance@aol.com
Thank you again!
