It is very difficult for the poor in Haiti to survive, but it is even more difficult for a person with a disability. They are considered “worthless,” and many times they sink into despair. When the 2010 earthquake hit, it damaged and destroyed orphanages. One of these was for handicapped children. A few days after...
After our post this morning saying the gangs were blocking the diesel tanker truck from coming here... Prayer works! Thank you for praying! Here comes the big diesel truck full of diesel for Love A Child. Wow, unbelievable! This morning our first post had an overwhelming response and many comments. When we added the container...
On June 10th, the Papaya Gang kidnapped five Haitian Customs officials, where our 40-foot containers of FMSC meals come out... and because of this, Customs has closed. So far the five Customs officials are still in the hands of the kidnappers. I'm afraid they will not open until the five Customs officials are released. I...
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things...
What a sweetie! She was born in the mountains of Demesseau, Haiti. Pastor Emmanuel (who has gone to be with the Lord) brought her to us. She had poor health and severe malnutrition. Her mother died when she was just a couple of months old, and nothing is known of her father. Nothing is known about...
We are on our way back across the border to Haiti. Jesse Ostrander is with Jackson at our apartment we rented in the Dominican Republic for Jackson's training on the Dialysis Machine. The training will actually start on Wednesday because they are waiting for another one of our nurses to come tomorrow so that the...
Yesterday we called and got to talk to Jackson. As many of you know, we brought Jackson out of the mountains of Savaan Pit, Haiti. He had a HUGE belly full of water, caused by Kwashiorkor Malnutrition. Even though he no longer has this huge belly to carry around, he developed severe kidney problems. For...
"Until You See the Giants." It's amazing how a lot of Bible scholars talk about faith. Many of them, "do have," the gift of faith, and they are great men and women of God, because their faith has gone through the fire. But, many people write books about faith, but they fail to mention that...
It was about four years ago that we received a call from the guys at our front gate, here at Love A Child. They said that “someone had left a baby” in the weeds and disappeared. We came quickly and found this little boy dropped off in the weeds, whimpering. He had scars all over...
More food was just recently purchased in South Haiti for the victims who are still suffering from a lack of food, due to the last earthquake. Because it is so dangerous to transport it past gangs, we had to purchase all this food in an area near the earthquake victims to distribute to them. All...
