Little Christie, who looks about nine, has “a heavy load,” on her shoulders. You may think, “the heavy load,” is the huge five-gallon bucket full of water, but Christie’s load is much heavier than that.

It’s hard to believe, but Christie and her five siblings were abandoned by “both parents,” who left for the Dominican Republic, looking for work. They now live with “Grandma Immaculate,” who is elderly and feeble. They live in a small makeshift hut, covered with a tarp. They constantly fight the rain and the bugs.

Sometimes, Christie washes clothes for other large families. Sometimes, she is paid to carry those buckets of water. She is a “child,” herself, caring for grandma, and her brothers and sisters. With “your help,” Christie and her siblings have been receiving food items such as rice, beans, and cooking oil. But, most of all, they now have “hope!”

Once again, your love has reached far into South Haiti, and you have made a great “impact” on hundreds of lives like these! God bless your wonderful hearts.
