A Message from Ley
Hello friends,
My name is Ley, and I am so happy to welcome you to Ley For Kids.
When I was 8 years old, I left Haiti with my family because of violence and insecurity. Leaving my home, my friends, and everything I knew was not easy. We had to embrace what my father calls "uncertainty" because we did not know what was waiting for us in the United States, what kind of support we would find, or what challenges we would face as we started a new life.
But through every challenge, I learned the importance of hope, courage, resilience, and kindness.
When my father started Stand Up For The Future, I had a simple idea: if we want a better future, we must also do something for children.
That is how Ley For Kids was born.
I believe every child deserves the opportunity to smile, learn, lead, and dream. No matter where we come from or what challenges we face, each of us has the power to make a positive difference.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can bring joy, inspire hope, and help children build a brighter future.
With love,
Ley Ad Clarim Sainvil
