15 years of Bless Back Worldwide—wow! We can’t thank you enough for standing with us through the years. Because of your generosity and support, what started as a single trip to Haiti has grown into a lasting presence in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua.
Our journey began in response to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti—a catastrophic 7.3 magnitude event that claimed more than 220,000 lives and left over 300,000 injured. We saw an urgent need and took action. And 15 years later, that same commitment remains at the heart of our mission.
We have transitioned from crisis response to providing stable, continuous care for the communities we serve, while still addressing the most pressing needs in each region. With no permanent staff, we ensure that every dollar you give goes directly to the people we serve—not to overhead in the U.S. This is only possible because of our dedicated board members, volunteers, and broader team, whose time and talents allow us to stretch every donation further.

Thank YOU. Whether you’ve traveled with us, supported us financially, or shared our mission with others, you’ve played a vital role in making a difference.
We can’t wait to share more about our latest trip to the Dominican Republic, led by Lisa—stay tuned for all the details in our next newsletter!
With gratitude,
The Bless Back Worldwide Team
