About Us
Cars4Haiti.org is the fundraising arm of Help Me Too Foundation, an IRS registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, whose primary mission is to provide needed aid to Haiti's poorest citizens, especially its women and children who live in the outlying areas from the capital of Port au-Prince. Through Car4Haiti.org, we will now be able to fund our ambitious agenda to expand our programs to reach even more people. With the help of volunteers, sponsors, donors and staff, we are confident that we can reach our goals.
Aid that Help Me Too Foundation currently provide:
- Educating kids from kindergarten through high school
- Food and Nutrition Program for children & families
- Basic health care and supplies
- Basic dental care
- Water delivery
- Youth sports program
Programs that we would like to add:
- Vocational\jobs training - we need to raise an initial amount of $250,000 to launch this program. This amount covers acquisition of the training facility, equipment and materials, student supplies, teachers, and operating capital. Our goal is to train a new generation of Haitians with the skills needed to help rebuild their country, while earning an income for themselves at the same time.
- Expand our school and community sports programs - basketball, soccer, cricket, etc.,. (these activities are not currently widespread in Haiti, so young people literally have nothing to do) - We need to raise only $50,000 to launch this program, which will make a positive impact for the youths.
We need equipment, expertise, cash and other in-kind donations to bring these projects to reality. Let us know how you can help to make these programs a life-changing reality for the youth in Haiti. Yes! You can make a difference in the lives of many people!
Our Founder
Since 2005, Dr. Ted Ridore has been the driving force behind the team of volunteers and paid staff of Help Me Too Foundation. It is through his steady leadership, unselfish vision, tireless efforts, personal funding and a deep compassion and caring for the less fortunate, that this humanitarian effort has already given relief to thousands in Haiti, who now have some hope for the future. Being keenly aware of the dire needs of Haiti's forgotten people, and with not enough financial resources to adequately address the basic needs that he saw all around him, Dr. Ridore envisioned Cars4Haiti.org as a viable way to bring much needed funds to Help Me Too Foundation, which would allow his humanitarian mission to continue.
Dr. Ridore is also the Founder and Dean of Cornerstone Christian University (CCU), with campuses in Orlando, Florida, and Port au-Prince, Haiti. CCU is a small institution that has consistently delivered big changes to the lives of its graduates.
A message from Dr. Ridore
On behalf of our wonderful volunteers, staff members and aid recipients, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to you for considering our organization as being worthy of your support. "Thank you!" It is hard to imagine how far we have come, over the past few years. We have been through many very tough moments, but even those challenges pale in comparison to the unimaginable adversities that many of our recipients face everyday. With selfless dedication, boundless enthusiasm and focused commitment, our fantastic team of volunteers and donors helped us to keep going, as we also help others to keep going. Without this support system we probably would not exist today as an organization. It is the same support and encouragement that we would like to extend to the people that we now have the great privilege of serving. We gladly embrace our role as servants, as we tackle the enormous tasks at hand. We thank you for any support you may have already provided or plan to give in the near future, and we greatly appreciate and welcome your partnership.
We have an open door policy, so we genuinely welcome any feedback, questions or suggestions that you may have.
Thank you!
Very sincerely,
Dr. Ted Ridore
