As many of you know, Lionel came to us when he was a small child. His father had gotten angry at him and “held his hand in boiling water,” and then put him out on the street. The police found him and someone called us. We could never find a hand specialist in Haiti, but...
We have had Florence and her three siblings since Florence was a year old. Her mother had died, and her father could not care for his family of four children. Florence has always been our “joy!” After she graduated in Haiti, she received a partial scholarship to a university in Italy! Today is a big...
ANGELS ARE AMONG US! “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.” Psalm 91:11,12 God sent an angel to open the prison doors for the apostles and Peter. God set...
Dorissaint… His mother died and his father abandoned him when he was “very young.” The neighbors found this beautiful baby wandering around his family’s hut. The neighbors brought him to us. Our “home,” became “his home.” Dorissaint has yard work to do, along with cleaning his rooms and helping to feed the animals here. He...

We cannot even put our confidence in banks anymore! Living in Haiti for over 30 years teaches one a lesson... Each day, we see...
Little Jameson is one of the sweetest little boys we have ever met. His mother had come to our clinic via a little boat across the lake, from a poor village. Jameson's skin and eyes always had a horrible skin infection. Many times, his eyes would swell shut. His skin was red. The doctors said...
Today, we visited a new area that we had never been to. The “spelling” might not be correct, but they call it Belvi. There are about 80 very poor families living here in the middle of “nowhere.” They had to move from a large town, Croix-des-Bouquets, due to gangs! There is a small Haitian military...
Update from Jesse Ostrander which came in last evening. "The team is here in Santo Domingo winding things down from a very full day. Lionel was seen by the hand surgeon this morning to make sure everything was progressing fine. The wound looks good and all the skin grafts look good. We are praying that...
