We would like to introduce to you Ms. Christina Cesar. Christina is a graduate of Morning Star Christian Academy in Port Au Prince, Haiti and currently works for the school since graduation. She is a long time family friend of Jay & Linda Threadgill and Taina Threadgill’s childhood friend. Since graduating high school she has desired to continue her education and enter either the field of nursing or education. As with many young Haitians, this is simply a financial impossibility. Christina’s father is a pastor in Haiti with a moderate size church and very humble means and the family cannot afford to educate their daughter.

The solution? Fishers of Men and Morning Star Christian Academy challenged him to raise half the needed resources to get their daughter to the state of Florida where she will attend a local community college. Jay & Linda have offered her their home in Melbourne, Fl as a place to stay while she is in school. In order for this to happen, Christina needs to have $15,000 in the bank to prove she is able to pay for her schooling in order to start classes this fall. Christina’s father needed to raise $7,500 and Jay & Linda would appeal to churches, businesses and individuals to sponsor the rest of the needed funds. In just a few days her father came to us with $7,500 in cash! Within a day of that, two local Melbourne churches committed to another $1,500 before this post has even been made public and now we need just $6,000 more to reach our goal, send Christina to the U.S. and enroll her in class for this coming fall semester.

If you would like to sponsor a young lady who has been through one of the worst natural disaster in the last 100 years, who lives in a city where the infrastructure is destroyed and there is no foreseeable future for continuing her education then we encourage you to give to this cause! Rally your family, church, small group, business, etc. to help invest in the most precious of Haiti’s resources: her children! You can make your gifts out to Fishers of Men and send it to:
