Happy birthday to Quincy, the original inspiration behind the work, friendships, and name of LQVE Haiti.

We don’t always talk about Quincy and our origin story - but today, we wanted to wish her a happy 27th birthday. Quincy went to Southeast Haiti in 2012 and made friendships and connections that we are still in contact with to this day. To honor her life after her sudden and tragic death on New Years Day 2015, a group of Quincy’s friends and family went to Haiti in June of 2015. Those trips then exploded into a network of friendships and Haitian dreams that is today LQVE Haiti. Of course, none of it could have ever started without Quincy’s trip to Haiti and her subsequent commitment to go back someday.

Happy 27th Q, we miss you. Bòn fèt sè dous mwen.
