MIVO Foundation

Hello to our beloved MIVO family. It is with great sadness that The MIVO Foundation shares the loss of one of our true brothers in Christ. Dr. Etienne's brother, Yvon Etienne transitioned to his heavenly Father, yesterday, June 26, 2026. Yvon was born January 06, 1964 in Haiti. He is the eldest brother of the 3 Etienne boys. We are truly saddened as for those who are not aware, Yvon was our "boots on the ground" in Haiti. Not one team could have successfully arrived and departed without Yvon's faithful assistance. He helped Gracia to establish and build the clinic and once it was built, he maintained the workings from 2014 to 2021 and beyond. He arranged all of our transports from the airports to and from the clinic. Before we had the local restaurant of " Love to Love " he ensured we had appropriate food.
Out of Gatorade!!!! "let's call Yvon." Need a ride to Gonaives, " just call Yvon.". He was true to sacrificially be available to our clinic and to our cause often driving miles and miles each day to supply our needs. When we could not get through, Yvon made it through with paychecks for our clinic staff. And there is so much more. Please join us in praying for his family: Marie, his dear wife and two daughters, Mayve and Marlyse and the entire Etienne family. May they be comforted. Pictures of Yvon are few as he never desired to be in the limelight. He just went about the business, in strength and fortitude provided by his Savior. May the Lord now welcome a servant to the kingdom as no other has ever been. He will be there, no doubt, serving quietly, behind the scenes with a sweat on his brow and a smile on his face.

Another successful day at our Jefferson Road garage location thanks to Uju, Kent, Mark and Lawrence. This staging area is all cleaned out, cleaned up and ready for the new day when we can return to serve the people of Haiti in Jesus' name! 💚🦴

An extremely productive day for The MIVO Foundation. So thankful for our team who came out to help: Maryanna, Mark, Bob, Lelia, Donna, Simone, Uju, Lawrence, and Jen!!! Sad to have to dispose of some items yet also found some treasures to be donated to local non-profits. We also have begun compiling non-perishables to be shipped at a later date to the clinic in Haiti. Feel free to join us next Saturday for a repeat appearance at 1820 Jefferson Road, Spring Grove. We will be working 8 -10 filling another dumpster.

Please consider joining our stateside team these next 2 Saturdays to help us sort supplies at our warehouse so we can continue to prioritize fresh supplies for our hopeful return to Haiti in the future! Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions if you are able to join the cause! Hope to see you there!
