“At first I was just struck by the beauty of the landscape,” he said of his 2011 Memorial Day weekend voyage with the charity Coreluv, “but then we drove through the beach and mountains into the orphanage and I felt an immediate connection around those kids.” A connection so deep, in fact, that David returned to Haiti just two weeks later, this time with his two brothers. “These are kids whose mothers and fathers have both passed away, or with parents who just gave them away, left them on the street completely abandoned, David said. They didn’t want me to come and give them toys; they didn’t want me to bring them food. They just wanted me to come there and love them and give them attention and tell them they were special. There was something very powerful about that.” David and his brothers returned to the U.S., but their work was just getting started. They had seen the overwhelming need for help and felt compelled to do something about it. Thus began the founding of their charity, I’mME. [VIDEO]
