Caribbean Love Now has donated $5 million to Food For The Poor for its campaign to provide relief to Haiti in the aftermath of the August 17 earthquake. Estimates are that about 1.2 million people, including 540,000 children, have been affected by the earthquake.
“We are heartbroken by the long story of pain and loss that the Haitian people face. But where there is life, there is hope, and even as countless families have lost everything, we want them to know they are not alone,” said Joe Bogdanovich, Chairman, Caribbean Love Now.
Kivette Silvera, Executive Director, Food For The Poor, said, “The way to recovery for the people of Haiti will require the tangible and critical support of partners who recognise that together, we can make a difference. Caribbean Love Now is one such partner, and we are extremely thankful for this significant contribution. As we continue to work with our office in Haiti and our headquarters in Coconut Creek, Florida, we will ensure that this gift is channelled to the communities that need it most.”
Caribbean Love Now is a not-for-profit foundation comprised of businesses connected to Joe Bogdanovich. The Foundation, whose partners include Downsound Entertainment, Argyle Industries, Hardware & Lumber (H&L) and the R Hotel, has in the past provided hurricane aid to Dominica and the Bahamas.
“The increase in local COVID-19 numbers and other humanitarian crises have perhaps wiped the urgency of Haiti’s situation from our consciousness, but we must amplify the story so that Haitians can rebuild their lives,” said Bogdanovich.
