Joshua was abandoned and left for dead in front of the gate at Love A Child. He was full of sores, crying, and could not sit or crawl. We first sent him to our Jesus Healing Center Clinic and then, because he was so bad off, we sent him to a children’s hospital. He was about 11 months old, but could not sit or crawl. He was full of sores, had severe malnutrition, and cried constantly… even when we brought him home. He had to have physical therapy to walk and it took a long time for him to talk. But when he started talking, he would not shut up! Ha! This kid was a talker and he jabbered all the time! When you would see him, he was always walking, talking (loud), and happy! He is very intelligent and does well in school. Joshua is four now and in first grade. And, he wants to be a “Helicopter Pilot!” Why?

About a month ago, we were blessed to take a “free helicopter ride” to the place where we are building houses for the hurricane victims. The roads were blocked with gangs and normally, we could not have gotten there. But, since one of the “large” organizations had its own helicopter, they gave us a ride to South Haiti. However, they would have to come and land on the area right in front of our Love A Child School. So, when all the school children came out to see the “helicopter,” (the first time most had seen one), the kids loved it! Joshua was there, cheering them on! So, he wants to be a “Helicopter Pilot” when he grows up! I hope he gets a good job because that will take a lot of $$$$ to become a pilot! He just needs to stick to his “toy helicopter” he got for Christmas! We love Joshua! He is a “pistol!”
