We’re moving to Bombardopolis, Haiti.
Jon and Ashley Kling and our six kids. Jon is an aircraft mechanic, and the hospital’s medevac planes need one on the ground.
Hi, we’re the Klings
The Northwest region of Haiti has stayed stable, and it’s home to a fast-growing hospital that serves as a lifeline for the communities around it. Its aviation ministry flies medevacs almost daily, but there’s no full-time aircraft mechanic on the ground. When maintenance slips, planes get grounded.
Jon has the skills and the license to be that mechanic, and his construction background means he’ll oversee the hospital’s new buildings too. Jon first went to Haiti in 2011, when he was 18. Fifteen years, six trips, an A&P license and six kids later, we’re almost there.

What we’ll be doing
Hope From Above flies medical evacuations out of Bombardopolis almost every day. Jon has already swapped engines and serviced their Cessnas on short trips. Now all eight of us are moving down for good.

- Build out the hospital Blood bank, dental clinic, lab, team housing
