One Gift, One Child exists to provide a safe place for vulnerable children to come and receive healing through love, nurture, discipleship and counseling all while fighting to stay in a family unit. One Gift, One Child
The founders of One Gift, One Child came together with a dynamic friendship in 2005. In August of 2007, they were joined together through marriage, vision and passion for the island of Haiti. Pierre is a native Haitian who grew up in St. Marc. Life was never easy but there was strong evidence of the Lord having His Hand upon Pierre as he grew up with strong education. He knew he was called to his home country and therefore pursued missions opportunities in his hometown. Natalie grew up in cold southern Wisconsin (with sister Erin Boyes who attends Plain Community Church) and barely even knew where Haiti was on the map. But having opportunities to travel from a young child, instilled a desire to experience life outside of her small town. One Gift, One Child came together in the first ten years of their relationship and then marriage. Natalie knew that she was called to orphans and Pierre Richard knew that he was called to discipleship, pastors and the youth. They lived together in The States so that they could finish their college degrees and also gain ministry experience before launching their own ministry.
- seeks to show value to those who are abused, neglected, thrown away and looked down upon by the Haitian culture.
- rescues children out of institutions and prepares them to go back into a family setting (biological or foster).
- walks alongside Haitian families, specifically those who are abused or have special needs children.
