My Power Foundation was founded in February 2010 by Patricia Szriftgiser to be a vehicle for ordinary people to give to families in despair in new and creative ways. Our initial project was “Families Adopting Families”, a holiday program where we identify underprivileged or struggling families and partner them with donors to provide deserving families with the items they need.
In the aftermath of the January 2010 Haiti Earthquake My Power Foundation together with Samaritan Air delivered food and supplied to Jacmel Village, a community outside Port of Prince, that was unable to receive deliveries from the main airport.
