Defiance Plays the Wheeler for Haiti

A Mercy & Sharing Presentation Live at the Wheeler : Benefit Concert for Haiti Children

"To the people of Haiti, we say clearly and with conviction: you will not be forsaken, you will not be forgotten," President Obama said. "In this, your hour of greatest need, America stands with you, the world stands with you."

We are telling a story with this concert. The story of the abandoned, forgotten children of Haiti. As you continue to learn about what was going on before the earthquake in Haiti, you will start to understand the level of destruction that is now in this area. Seeing the images after the quake, our hearts were moved to do something bigger than just give what we have in our pockets. We wanted to put forth some extra effort and try to collaborate with everyone we know and everyone they know to come together with one heart and one mission, to help these children.
