Jean Gardy is a very unusual young man. He has learned “very well” the value of money and how to save it! When our older children went to High School and College, I would give them all a certain amount for a “tap tap” (ride) and for food. But I soon found out that none of the kids would “pick up their own money!” I was really upset, and I said that “everyone was responsible for their own money…” But all the kids said, “Jean Gardy is saving a little of our money back for an emergency! We do not touch the money!”

I never would have believed that a Haitian would trust his money to anyone, not even his own brother! But Jean Gardy is so good with money and so honest! His brain is a “calculator!” When he was small, his mother died and his father had no job. He asked if we would take Jean Gardy in. In Haiti, when a child loses his mother, he is automatically considered an orphan. Now, he works in our Love A Child accounting office. He has “one more year of accounting” to finish and get his degree. (He would have finished last year, but gangs blocked the roads, and we had to take him out of college.)

We are thankful for the help he has already had, but if anyone wants to sponsor his “last year in college,” please contact our office at (239) 210-6107. He will pass and be able to get his diploma! After all, “he’s been an accountant since he was in diapers!”
