Produced for The Freedom Story in Chiang Rai, Thailand in conjunction with Heidi Burkey Films. This is the story of two brothers, Surachat and Surachai, who are stateless and orphans. They feared they would be homeless without support.

Jasper House Haiti

Jasper House Haiti is a transitional home for girls in Haiti who have been sexually abused or exploited. They offer shelter, education, access to medical attention, and more.  Melissa Marshall and I jumped at the chance to share their stories.  We met a few amazing women and I am so excited to share a small part of their story! To learn more about how to get involved with Jasper House Haiti, head over to their website and follow them on social media! www.jasperhousehaiti.org //  @jasperhousehaiti

Sooners4Haiti

My second time invited to document the Sooners4Haiti trip. Each year, since 2010, student athletes from The University of Oklahoma travel to Haiti to partner with Mission of Hope . They essentially do whatever is needed of them; when you have around 40 able bodied athletes, typically it's a good amount of manual labor. It's pretty awesome to watch a large group of young(er) kids serve so selflessly.
