A Florida based nonprofit organization is delivering aid to an island experiencing an uptick in gang violence. Members of the nonprofit Mission of Hope left Sunday from Key West with a boatload of food and supplies for Haiti. The North star vessel will deliver aid to a special needs orphanage, following a request from the Haitian government. Since the assassination of Haiti’s president in 2021, roads across the country are controlled by gangs, leaving many communities cut off from receiving aid.
