Although our Birthing Center is not a Hospital, it provides valuable, good and safe care to poor Haitian mothers, who otherwise would have their baby “on the ground,” and in a mud hut using a “tin can lid” or a piece of sharp glass or knife to cut the cord. This idea of having a...
The Creole Proverb says, "Haitian blood is thicker than water..." Florence is the sister of Julia, who passed away during childbirth a few days ago. (For those of you who are reading this for the first time, Julia was our lab tech at our Birthing Center. Florence was her "baby sister." There were four children in...
This was David, praying unto the Lord. David was a warrior, and he could have easily defeated king Saul, his enemy. Because, as we all know, David had killed a lion and a bear, when he was just a teenager. Later, as he fought battles for king Saul, whom he loved, the "spirit of jealousy"...
This little guy came all the way from "Covant," and actually it is called Belle Fontaine. This is the highest and roughest place we have ever worked in. It takes four-wheel drives, mules and then "on foot" to get there. This is where Lucson's parents lived... they were poor farmers. His mother died when he...

The first four children we took in were the Limose children. Their mother "gave them to us" on her deathbed. We took in those four children and about six months later, a man came to us whose wife had died. They had four children... Yolanda, Julia, Franceau, and Florence. I had cared for their mother...
