Help Send Local Woman on Volunteerism Trip to Haiti

She couldn't predict how her first trip to Haiti would change her life. Now she has the opportunity to go back and help again.

Last year, Bethel resident Jessica Fiscella traveled to Desab, a small village in Haiti. Desab has a bakery, a volunteer dorm, a clinic and a school, according to an article on Examiner.

Fiscella is raising funds via GoFundMe, so she can go back to Desab.

"This March I was given a second chance to go back to Haiti and build stronger relationships with the people from this village and help them in many ways, which are much needed," she wrote on the GoFundMe page.

As of Jan. 20, Fiscella raised $800 out of a $1,500 goal. To donate, visit the Haiti Plunge GoFundMe page.
