The HUGG Collective

Daniel and Natul founded HandUp Ministries in 2015 after Dan took a mission trip to Port-au-Prince Haiti. They partnered with a boys’ home by the name of Grangou in order to provide a place for their transitioning youth. They have advocated for the fatherless for the last 20 years from foster care to adoption to serving in Haiti. They live in Montgomery, Texas with four of their five children. Their oldest is a student at Tarleton State University.

Alicia is a passionate mom, wife and support system to her amazing husband. She loves Jesus and is forever thankful for His mercy. In her little free time, she enjoys being outside in almost any possible way. 

She supports HUGG because she believes their mission empowers the young men of Haiti and provides them with dignity. They are stuck in a system that is beyond their control. HUGG gives them Jesus, jobs and the ability to impact future generations.

Stephen McDonald is a passionate small business owner with a desire to help those in need, not only in our community but wherever God leads him. His entrepreneurial spirit is fueled not just by business, but by his profound enjoyment of fatherhood. Stephen loves spending quality time with his son Taelor, and views parenting as one of the most fulfilling aspects of his life.

Cameron is a 21 year old who is currently pursuing a career in commercial real estate while obtaining his degree in business management. He loves the Lord passionately, he loves his family and loves traveling. Cameron will never turn down a good wine or a good coffee!

Bringing these young men out of poverty and into society where their past generational cycles have been broken is what HUGG is fighting  so that’s why I will fight for HUGG. 

​I was born in a Christian family of 9 children of which I am the third.  I have a degree in administrative sciences from the State University of Haiti. I got married on December 28, 2018 and father of 2 adorable daughters. My wife's name is Elange Barony Henry. She is a nurse. My first daughter is Ruth Isha Henry, she is 4 years old. My second daughter, Corynne Raïa Henry, she will be 1 year old this November 6. I have been leading TKCLLO (known as HUGG in the U.S) since September 2017. My dream is to study social work or psychology in order to better serve the organization in pursuit of its main goal which is to break the chain of poverty in the lives of orphans.
