It was just like yesterday, when a poor father appeared at the door of our orphanage with a little girl who had very bad “burn scars.” Dumolia (Dimelia) was such a sad little girl. She had fallen into a tub of boiling water, and her father had taken her to the “poor people’s Haitian hospital.” Her scars were so bad that she could not turn her neck from side to side, and she could not raise her arms above her head.

We knew that in Haiti, there were no places for skin grafts. We had to send her to the Shriners Burn Center in Boston, and we found a lady to help with Dumolia’s care. It was a long road with many surgeries and skin grafts! Today, Dumolia has overcome her scars. She is a shining light, working hard at a University in Jamaica! She is a “light” in the midst of darkness to let everyone know, “you can win, with Jesus on your side!” Thank you, partners!
