It is hard for us to imagine having to choose between food and medical care. But, this happens every day here in Haiti. Poor Haitian mothers with sick babies will wait until they are full of disease or near to death because the choice is always between food and medical help. We saw this little...
“Judge not, that ye be not judged…” Matthew 7:1 When my mother was alive, she was a “saint.” She never spoke ill of anyone, and she loved everyone, but most of her friends were kinda “nutty.” She had one friend, who was supposed to be a “lady preacher.” I will just call her Wanda. Wanda had...
Can you believe that Noah, Samuel, Kenzy, and Joshua are in school? It seems like it was yesterday we were finding abandoned babies near our gate, left to die. Samuel, second from left, was brought to us by the Department of Social Services here in Haiti... no one was able to care for him. Now,...
