Kris’ passion for service and giving to those in need has not been hampered by the life changes he’s experienced in the last year. While his time may not be as flexible to share, he does have unique resources and opportunities now to participate in helping others. Last Friday, Kris spent the day in Haiti with the UN. His trip is was both to raise awareness and to “help out in any way he can.” Kris helped register Haitians in a new program to increase efficiency in The Salvation Army meeting their needs. He also spent some time helping with breaking up and cleaning wreckage, distributing food, and also had a chance to sit and play some music for Haitian mothers and their babies.
