Dieuferly… His name means, “God made it.” His poor mother, who lived in the mountains of Covant, was distressed to see that the baby she had just delivered “in the middle of nowhere” had club feet! Madamn D’or had eight children (two sets of twins) when her husband left her! I cannot imagine how afraid she was. After all, how could she support this big family in “the middle of nowhere” with no husband to help?

We decided to take the tiny boy “down the mountain, and on a mule” with us! At that time, the U.S. Military was in Haiti. They offered to do “free surgeries,” but what we didn’t know was that the surgeon was not a professional “club foot surgeon,” but he did his best. He sent the toddler home after that horrific surgery with “Baby Tylenol!” I walked the floor with him each night! His feet still always hurt him until Jesse Ostrander found a surgeon in the D.R. to do some additional surgeries on Dieuferly’s feet. It helped so much!

Today, Dieuferly has a great talent for photography and he operates the “drone shots” for TV, and also helps us with many other projects for our television program! He and some of his brothers also operate the Fresh Food Restaurant in Fond Parisien, but his greatest achievement is his love for “extremely poor children!” He wraps his arms around them, just like Jesus “wrapped His arms” around Dieuferly! Bobby says, “Love is Something You Do!”
