Sunshine Power, the founder of the organization, has made it her life's mission to help children in need, as she lost her parents at a young age. Originally from Haiti, Sunshine moved to the United States to start her life as a young adult. She had always desired to reunite her family by bringing her 5 siblings with her to the U.S., but she placed God's plan for her above any plans she might have had for herself, as she recognized that helping her family was only part of her mission and that "true love is when you give sacrificially to people who will never be able to pay you back". Soon after this realization, Sunshine found her calling to support children in need. She founded Help For The Children, Inc. and brought her 5 siblings from Haiti to the U.S. to help her run the organization because Sunshine needed all the help she could get to complete the work God had set in place for her.
