The Isena Foundation: A Legacy of Love


Though I lost my mother at a very young age, her passion for teaching and her relentless heart for children became the blueprint for my life. Raised in Haiti, I saw firsthand the power of education and the importance of a nurturing hand.


I founded the Isena Foundation to honor that legacy.

As an immigrant and someone who grew up without my birth mother, I understand the unique challenges of building a life from the ground up. My mission is simple: to ensure every child, whether an immigrant navigating a new world or an orphan seeking a home, feels seen, loved, and supported.


Our focus is holistic, intentional, and driven by love:

Educational Access: Bridging the gap between potential and opportunity for immigrant children.

Orphan Support: Providing essential needs and a sense of belonging to children without guardians.

Mentorship & Care: Creating a foundation of security so every child has the freedom to grow and succeed.


This foundation is the heartbeat of my work. It is my way of ensuring that the love my mother had for children continues to change lives, one child at a time.
