This Daniel was twin to his sister, “Daniella.” Their mother was pregnant and trying to get to the general hospital in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. But, there were bad guys with guns and they blocked her from the hospital. She went to her little shack and tried to give birth. Both babies lived, but she died.

We brought the babies to our orphanage. Daniella, his sister, was doing fine, but Daniel was always underweight!! We had to hire a special lady to watch over Daniel. He has always had trouble in school until we found out he couldn’t see well. We took him to the Dominican Republic and found a great eye doctor!

Daniel is quiet. He is now 20 (he had failed two grades due to his eyes). But now, he is in 11th grade and loves soccer. He loves the “guy things,” dominoes, soccer, and oh yes… a beard! I personally don’t like the beards! The boys think “The girls like beards!” Hmmm! I think I need more security to keep the girls away! Ha!
