Sherry and I are in the Dominican Republic today, flying out to Florida this afternoon. We were supposed to leave on the 15th of last month for a very important doctor's appointment. We don't want to return today to Florida, but we must. Jesse Ostrander is there in Haiti, now, to run things and be...
Lomene… God Brings Down and God Lifts Up! This is Lomene, one of the girls raised in our Orphanage. I will do another post on Lomene later today because her story is overwhelming! We first discovered Lomene when she was a tiny little girl. She had been a restavek slave child until we rescued her....
16-year-old Job was brought to us by his father after his mother died. Like many other “Love A Child kids,” Job came from high in the mountains of Covant. Job has always been quiet, kind, and helpful. About a year ago, a serious infection got into the bone of his right leg from the knee...

I’m sure you have seen people on the highways, in towns, under trees, and just about everywhere with signs reading, “Will work for food!” But actually, most are not hungry but just want money to buy beer, cigarettes, and drugs. Last time we were in the States we saw a man standing in front of...
In the remote region of La Roche, Haiti, hunger is a constant companion that shadows the lives of its people. The children here face the harsh realities of poverty, their days marked by malnutrition and the struggle to survive in a world that offers little relief. Love A Child journeys to La Roche with more...
I have seen a lot of stingy people in my life. We once lived next door to a tight, stingy, and elderly “Christian“ lady. I had to drive her car and take her wherever she needed to go. She hated spending one dime! When I would take her to a restaurant, instead of paying for...
She and her cousin, Jolina, were both born in some of the highest mountains of Haiti. Yolanda’s mother died in childbirth, like so many others.
