Susie, a renowned former Playboy Playmate of the Month, having graced the cover in May 1983, has since redirected her spotlight to a more selfless pursuit. As a brief foray into acting didn't quite satiate her creative appetite, she discovered a new calling as a patron saint for countless abandoned Haitian infants.
Throughout the past several decades, Susie has dedicated herself to the Mercy and Sharing Foundation, an Aspen, Colorado-based charity that has made a profound impact on the lives of thousands of children from Haiti's most impoverished slums. This remarkable organization, primarily funded through private donations, operates a network of six schools, three orphanages, an abandoned-baby ward, and a cervical cancer screening center, providing a comprehensive range of services to its young beneficiaries.
Susie's tireless efforts have not gone unnoticed, as she was bestowed the honor of being made an honorary Haitian citizen. Furthermore, in 2004, she was invited to Buckingham Palace to receive the esteemed Rose Award, presented by the foundation established to perpetuate Princess Diana's legacy of service to the less fortunate.
