Booster is a small village in the commune of the town, Ganthier, Haiti. A baby, 23-month-old Djoulins, lives with his mother and other siblings. Their house is made from pieces of metal for a roof and “mud-and-stick,” walls. When Djoulins’ father “gave up,” trying to support their family, his mother was the one who had saved enough money for the tin for the roof of their house. His father abandoned the entire family, leaving his mother to make money for food.

Many times, his mother had no food and only gave the children “lemongrass tea” (leaves boiled with water). Djoulins became very malnourished. When his mother realized that he was losing weight, she brought him (with much prayer), to our Jesus Healing Center, because, as she said, “his tomorrow is in the Hands of God.” She was broke and borrowed the money to come to our Jesus Healing Center. When the doctors examined him, the baby had diarrhea, vomiting, and skin disease. He weighed only 5.7 kg (12.5 lbs).

When he arrived at our clinic, he cried constantly because he was hungry. After a complete diagnosis, he was sent to our Malnutrition Center. Little Djoulins will be here for a while and then, he will be sent home and have to come back for checkups.

Children in Haiti are dying from Malnutrition but we are saving them, one at a time, with your help!
