Yadestiny Treasure Chest
Yadestiny Treasure Chest (YTC) is a 501c(3) not for profit organization whose mission is to provide apparel and footwear to children ages 0 to 13. Not only does YTC provide new and used clothing, but it also refurbishes damaged clothing to make it new again for children in need. Thus, the items donated are not hand-me-downs, rather they are turnarounds. From its Fit for Fashion (F3) program which spreads awareness of the relationship between health and appearance, to YTC Entertainment which promotes positive youth artist development, YTC also works to help build confidence and self-esteem in children everywhere through fun and educational activities. The organization was founded in 2010 by Karyne Tinord, a Haitian-American native of Brooklyn, New York. Inspired by the global relief efforts following the Haiti earthquake, Tinord established YTC to embark on the journey of providing clothing and key resources to families and children around the world.
