This morning, our driver Philimond left with Jasson (Jackson) and Lionel (Yonel), along with Dieuferly to go to the Dominican Republic. It is a five-hour trip to the capital. Jesse Ostrander is already there, waiting to meet them and take them to their doctors’ appointments. Dieuferly, our Haitian son who had the club foot operation in the Dominican Republic last year, is going along to translate from Creole to English for Jesse… Jesse can get the translation from English to Spanish.

Lionel had been badly burned when we got him. His father held his hand in boiling water because he was angry at him and the child was thrown out in the street. We had not been able to find a “plastic surgeon” for Lionel’s hand here in Haiti, but hopefully, they will be able to do a release and then, we can help with the hand therapy. Most of you know about Jasson and his problems with kwashiorkor, which led to his critical kidney problems. We ask for your prayers for a safe trip and good knowledge of these doctors to make the decisions for their care. These children are “in God’s big hands!”
