Kindest Hearts Foundation

About Us

Why?

Our organization's mission is to pursue the idea that helping people is much more than binding a wound or giving a meal. We believe that teaching the Haitian people to help themselves by providing them with the tools necessary to propel them into leading prosperous and self-sufficient lives.  

How?

Our vision is that each town in Haiti should not be totally dependent upon one major city. Rebuilding the infrastructure, educating and providing local jobs based on the local resources will enable the people to gain the skill to improve their lives.  

The Town

A 3 hour drive from the capital city of Port-Au-Prince, O’Rouck was left with limited aid from relief efforts from many major organizations; like many smaller towns in the country. 


Close to Dr. Nicholas’ father’s birthplace, she decided  O’Rouck would be the town to start the mission of Kindest Hearts Foundation (KHF).


In 2011, KHF held school at a local Christian Church. It was a one room school house with 50 kids from kindergarten to 6th grade.  The preschoolers were in a small back room and 6th graders outside.


On October 2013, KHF broke ground and started building what would soon become Kindest Heart Academie and Centre Medical d’ O’Rouck.

Make a Difference

Every dollar that is given to Kindest Hearts goes straight to the people of Haiti. So you can rest assured in knowing that you will be actually creating a positive impact in the lives of the Haitian people.

Our Board

Founder/President – Dr. Patricia Nicholas

Born in the late 1960’s in Haiti, Dr. Nicholas immigrated to the  United States in 1982. She graduated from Erasmus Hall High School in  Brooklyn, New York in 1984. She received a Bachelor’s of Science degree  from St. Francis College in 1989 with minors in French and Philosophy.  She further pursued a doctoral degree and graduated from the New York  College of Podiatry Medicine in 1993 and completed her residency from  Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. She met her husband of 26 years, Nigel,  who is from Trinidad and Tobago, and they have 3 beautiful children. 


She has a private practice in Wading River, New York. She is the  President of the New York State Podiatric Medical Association. She also  serves as an Elder at Grace and Truth Church in Coram, New York. She is  Past President of the Caribbean American Medical and Scientific  Association. Her heartstrings were tugged with the earthquake in Haiti. Busy with  her private practice and family there was no reason to go. Most of her  family had immigrated to the United States and Canada. Her love for a  native country prevailed. She immediately sent emails out for donations  to her professional colleagues. She left for Haiti a week later and went  to the town of Leogane, one of the hardest hit areas. After many continuous visits to different towns in Haiti, Dr.  Nicholas noticed that  while in the town of O’Rouck that many families  struggled with basic needs such as no running water, electricity, and  even providing food for their children. The motivation to go back and  help the people of Haiti change their lives was rooted.
