On October 19, 2019 we had another awesome time at the 2019 Hoedown for Haiti! We had another almost sold out crowd and over $27,000 was raised for New Life Children’s Home! We give ALL the GLORY to GOD! Like each year before, I’m left speechless from gratitude for those who donated their time and efforts, attended and danced, and helped make the night such a success! All funds raised will go directly toward New Life Children’s Home which is now home to 5 beautiful, sweet children.

The Estime’s made it home just in time for time for the event to give an update about their past year and happenings in Haiti. We also took a moment to recognize our beloved Cindy for her many, wonderful works in Haiti. You can read the memorial we shared here Memorial for Cindy Zimmerman.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
First off, we’d like to say show our appreciation to Leon & Elsie Eby for allowing us to use their barn for the 5th year in a row!
