Our sweet little Dumolia (Dimelia) has not been able to get her Visa yet, due to the problems here in Haiti and the Embassies closing. She had wanted to go to Italy, where her “sister” Florence is, but it has been difficult to get her Visa. So, she changed courses to go to Jamaica. She really wants to go to College there because it is “International.” It is English speaking, also… but, the Embassies here have been closed. They may open a day but no one ever knows when they are open… It is all due to gang violence.

In order to go to Jamaica, she has to pass through the Dominican Republic, so she is waiting on that Visa first. But in the meantime, she volunteers at our Birthing Center, doing all the sonograms. She takes a big load off the staff and she is good at it! We have had Dumolia since about the age of three when her father brought her here. She had been badly burned, and in the hospital where she was staying, and they did not do skin graphs. She had been burned from her neck down to the bottom of her waist.

We sent her back and forth to the Shriners for years… She had “one more surgery to go,” but had to go back to Haiti due to her Visa. But, Haiti has closed doors now, for Visas… She is a strong Christian and has a lot of Faith in God. We love her!!! The kids call her “Di Di,” and Bobby calls her “baby!” (He calls most of them “baby!” HA!)  Sherry
