Rodney Napier Benefits Haitian Amputee in America via Harbor of Love, Care, and Unity
Learn the story of Wisbens.
Canton, OH – September 16, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —
Renowned entrepreneur and devoted philanthropist, the Chairman of ‘The Granted Wish Foundation’ Rodney Napier, was a key player in uniting a 14-year-old Haitian-born child, who had survived tragic consequences of a national disaster in his country, with his adoptive family in America. In an adoption case that lasted six years, Wisbens recently landed on U.S. Soil and became a permanent member of the Hazel Family.
The Granted Wish Foundation set out on its mission to coordinate the adoption for Wisbens after meeting him at New Life Children’s Home in Haiti. After the devastating earthquake of 2010, Rodney Napier traveled to the country to help children and families in need of financial and emotional support. Wisbens, then age 10, had been trapped under a wall resulting in the amputation of his right leg. While at New Life, Rodney Napier and his team worked tirelessly to assist the children who had been affected by the disaster. Around the same time, they met Todd Hazel, a man from Bowling Green, Kentucky who was doing missionary work in Haiti. After witnessing the unique bond that Todd and Wisbens shared with each other, Napier’s organization began the rigorous adoption process with Hazel. Finally, on January 20, 2016, Wisbens joined his new adoptive father Todd, his wife Jennifer, and their young son Maddox to start their life together.
“It has been a long journey, but we are so happy and proud for everything that The Granted Wish Foundation has achieved,” says Rodney Napier. “It’s rewarding to see Wisbens and the Hazels bond so naturally with each other. Wisbens life will now become a fairytale.”
