Alternative Chance is an unfunded program in great need of financial assistance. Any amount will be greatly appreciated and well spent on services for Criminal Deportees in Haiti -- including medical care, medicine, food, water, job training materials, temporary housing, help for the mentally ill, etc.

If you would like to donate funds, please write us at altchance@aol.com and we will send you the information for our fiscal sponsor. Thank you for you help and compassion.

Alternative Chance was built on volunteer help. In the past we have had volunteer help from teachers, photographers, computer teachers, doctors, counselors, alternatives to violence trainers, etc.

Please let us know if you would like to volunteer your time, for a day, a week, a month, a year. We need help with fundraising, job training, counseling, etc.

Please contact Michelle Karshan at altchance@aol.com

Thank you again!
