Malnutrition Rates Climbing in Haiti… The Story of Loubenjie

Eight-month-old Loubenjie is from Latramblay, a village not far from us. This neighborhood is controlled by gangs, so when his mother brought him to us, he was already in bad condition.

When he was just 6 months old, his mother abandoned him to escape poverty, living with his inexperienced father to take care of him. His father was barely making a living, so he fed Loubenjie bread and sugar water. Loubenjie had not had milk since his mother abandoned him. He had never had a piece of fruit or anything nutritious. His grandmother tried to feed him, but due to her little selling business going under due to gangs, she could no longer feed him either.

When Loubenjie began with diarrhea and fever, she made the decision to bring him to our Jesus Healing Center. He was in such bad condition that the doctor had to send him to our Malnutrition Clinic to save his life. He was screaming in pain. He had a swollen stomach, swollen feet, and skin lesions. When Loubenjie is well enough to leave, we will make sure he has some special Feed My Starving Children food to take home.

We are seeing more and more malnourished children coming to our Jesus Healing Center, due to hunger, gangs blocking the roads, and poor sellers who can no longer sell. Please pray for Haiti and the children of Haiti.
