Her Father Was Murdered, Leaving Nine Children Behind

When I first heard Jolina’s story, I was shocked! She came from the mountains of Haiti, like many of the other Love A Child children have. Her father was murdered (shot), and her mother nearly had a nervous breakdown, with nine children to feed. Her mother brought Jolina and her cousin Daphlina, to our orphanage and asked if we could take them in. “Yes, of course,” we thought. That poor woman has enough on her shoulders. So, we brought both babies into our orphanage.

Jolina is now 13. She is very strong, athletically. She is in the 9th grade and has made really high marks in school!! She is “tough on the soccer field” and “nothing to mess with” on the basketball court! But even though she is a “toughie,” she has a very tender heart! Jolina loves children and wants to be a pediatrician!!!

Jolina is “tough on the outside” but “gentle” on the inside! Her nickname is “boutey,” which means bottle! One thing we know, Jolina’s “bottle” is full of love for children! She will make a great “pediatrician,” and most of all, she gives all the credit for her life to the Lord! We love Jolina!
