In May 2010, Gidcomb and Warner traveled to Haiti with a friend, Mike Goodman. Goodman and his significant other, Judy Haselhoef, founded a non-profit organization called Yonn Ede Lot to benefit the people in the little mountain community of La Montagne on the southern coast of Haiti. During their visit to Haiti, Gidcomb and Warner traveled to several areas including La Montagne, Jacmel City and Port-au-Prince.
