Kenzy…the kids call him “Di Di,” and everyone loves him! This is Kenzy in his “church clothes!” All Haitian children love to dress up for church. (If Kenzy had a tuxedo, he would wear it!) Kenzy is four now. His father died before he was born, and his mother died immediately after he was born. A Haitian Pastor brought him to us, sickly, frail, and full of sores.

We took him to our clinic and discovered that Kenzy has “Sickle Cell Anemia.” He is always frail and sickly. He is always at the hospital and taking a lot of medicine. He must always be under a doctor’s care.

Kenzy tries to smile, even when he’s not feeling well. Kenzy “loves” candy! I try to keep a stash in my closet. He takes a piece and splits it with the other children.

Kenzy is in kindergarten and is doing well, but a little slow. We pray that his health will be better because he is too sweet to be sick!
