What a beautiful name for a little baby with extreme malnutrition. But now, malnutrition is killing more babies here in Haiti than ever before…

Their parents are poor, like Lovencia’s mother. They want to “work” but cannot get through the gangs. This past Sunday, a group of gang members stopped a car on the way to church with five women in it. When the gangs told them to get out and give up their money, they refused. They were shot and killed and burned inside the car.

Other mothers try to make it to the open market to sell, and they cannot.

Now imagine a poor mother, trying to get to the market to sell a few cheap items, just to feed her family… and she runs into the gangs! She will not be able to sell, and her children will go hungry.

Check back later for “Lovencia’s Story.” It will bring tears to your eyes.
