St. Joseph Family of Haiti.
7. Nevertheless, since January 2011 and continuing to present, Kendrick has
attempted to destroy me and St. Joseph Family of Haiti by targeting St. Joseph Family of Haiti’s
benefactors, volunteers, and fundraisers with false and heinous allegations of child sex abuse,
child neglect, malnourishment, and other mistreatment, financial impropriety, and other
deplorable conduct.
8. To date, Kendrick’s concerted efforts to destroy me, St. Joseph Family of Haiti,
and Hearts with Haiti has caused an estimated $1,582,810.56 loss in revenue, withheld or
reduced donations, withheld or reduced grant moneys, cancelled Resurrection Dance Tour of
Haiti performances, and cancelled reservations at the St. Joseph Family of Haiti guest house.
9. Information supporting valuation of pecuniary losses was produced by my
attorneys in the above-captioned matter to Kendrick’s counsel April 12th, 2013.
10. For example, attached hereto as Exhibit 2, is a true and accurate copy of e-mail
correspondence between and amongst Paul D’Oliveira, Hearts with Haiti board member and
Rotarian, and several Rotary International members in which a $38,000 grant to purchase a
Toyota SUV to transport disabled children at Wings of Hope to and from physical therapy was
cancelled because of Kendrick’s false allegations of child sex abuse.
11. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3, is a true and accurate copy of e-mail correspondence
dated April 27th, 2013 in which a July, 2013 reservation at the St. Joseph Family of Haiti guest
house valued at $8,750.00 (residence for twenty-five persons for seven days at $50 per day per
person) was cancelled by Edenton Street United Methodist Church because of Kendrick’s false
allegations of child sex abuse and financial impropriety.
12. Attached hereto as Exhibit 4, is a true and accurate copy of e-mail correspondence
dated January 31st, 2011 from Kendrick to St. Theresa’s Parish in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a
benefactor of St. Joseph Family of Haiti. This is the earliest known communication from
Kendrick concerning me or St. Joseph Family of Haiti.

from Kendrick to numerous “blind-copied” third parties in which he solicited “sex abuse victims
of Michael Geilenfeld” for a “free consultation” with a plaintiffs’ lawyer in Boston,
Massachusetts.
