Dear Eyes Wide Open Family,
“In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; He saved me from all my troubles. For the angel of the Lord is a guard; He surrounds and defends all who fear Him.”
Psalm 34:6-7 (NLT)
Thank you to everyone who has been shopping our
Shelter, School & Security Sale and helping us to Restore Hope to widows, orphans and at-risk kids this spring.
Our precious Haitian family is starting to experience a collective exhale and settle into our new location. We are praising God for providing a safe and beautiful sanctuary to rent and not one, but six amazing schools to meet the diverse educational needs of our 32 children.
We are so grateful to have reached this location with all lives intact, but once again we are starting over from scratch. Each family member traveled only with the clothes on his or her back and with a small backpack of items. The beautiful home we are renting is completely unfurnished. And, we recently learned that the house we owned was commandeered by gangs who took everything. Now, without the hope of recovering anything we left behind, our need is greater than ever.
Over the next couple of days, we are praying for the success of this sale to help us cover some much-needed items: beds, rent, basic home furnishings, remaining school expenses, emergency transportation, children's educational books, clothing, shoes and hygiene items.
We could really use your help getting the word out about this sale. The more people who know about it and shop with us, the better chance we have of reaching our goal.
This online pop-up sale now offers more than 100 items to bid on or buy. Shop for travel; home decor; home improvement; kitchen; garden; clothing; accessories; health and beauty including doTERRA Essential Oils; babies and kids; pets; electronics and much more! We looked for things that would make great gifts as you shop for all spring occasions from weddings and graduations to Mother's Day and Father's Day, birthdays and anniversaries.
OR - you can give a gift to cover one of our much-needed items directly. This will count as a donation for you and will be kept separate in our records from any purchased items.
If you haven't been to the sale site yet, it's not too late. It's often during these final hours that we see the most bids, buys and financial gifts!
Please share the link with anyone you know who loves to shop for a bargain and shop for a cause. The sale ends at 10pm Wednesday, April 15, 2026. However, if you are in a dual over a hot item, the bidding will continue minute, by minute, for an additional 30 minutes and then it will close. So, get ready to make your highest and best bids and final purchases.
As the clock counts down the final hours of this sale, we are so grateful we can count on each of you to pray and partner with us. May God bless you abundantly for the ways you are helping us to Restore Hope this spring!
