Our Story

Good Threads was founded by David Palmer in 2013 along with his brother Timmy Palmer.  David had founded a non profit, the Joan Rose Foundation, to provide impoverished children with the chance to succeed.  He quickly realized that if he wanted to help the children longterm he needed to stabilize their household and to do that he needed to employ their mothers. He heard about needlepoint belts and realized they were something the parents could make and Good Threads was born. 

 Today Good Threads employs over 1000 people in Greater Jacmel and donates 5-10% of revenue annually to the Joan Rose Foundation, equating to hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last few years. David still lives in Haiti, takes in work from the stitchers and knows most personally.   

THE JOAN ROSE FOUNDATION

The Joan Rose Foundation was founded in Esperanza, Dominican Republic by David Palmer in 2010. In 2015 David and the core Joan Rose Foundation families moved to Jacmel, Haiti. Today the Joan Rose Foundation feeds about 650childrenLunch, Mon-Sat, pays private school tuition for over 200 children and runs anafter schooltutoring/extra curricularprogram. The Joan Rose Foundation also runs a boxing program for Haitian youth,
