We were told about a young mother with many children who was going to have to “leave her baby at the hospital” because she could not afford another child. When I found this out, I went to talk to her. She begged me to take the baby when he was born and I did! Georges...
Because of the gangs and the political problems in Haiti, Sherry and I have never seen hunger this rampant in all the years we have worked here. Haiti is in a "food crisis." When we see the little children hungry, some days it's unbearable. Each box of Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) food contains 216...
Bobby and Sherry journey to the distant village of Bwa Pen Charles. Witness the incredible effort of the villagers, including the children, who spent an entire morning clearing a rocky riverbed path that had been flooded the night before. This hard work allowed the Love A Child team to pass through and deliver much-needed food....
“Who Is Your Real Enemy?” I am sure you have had this happen in your life a time or two. You are finally able to talk to a “real person” on the phone about your problem, but they couldn’t care less. Instead of helping you, they are aggravating you. You are just “a problem to...
I have never met such a sweet, kind, and humble child like Jonas. We were actually doing a TV program when we saw a little boy, who looked like he was six or seven, out in the heat of the sun, working with grown men. He had a heavy, long Haitian rake called a wou....
More good news. Last week, the Love A Child (LAC) office sent the money to purchase a new 4x4 heavy-duty food truck in Haiti. The dealership is building a box on the back of the truck to hide the food as we travel down the road. We have not been able to purchase the truck...
I love doing mobile clinics in Haiti and “the regions beyond.” It has been hard to have the Mobile Clinics because when we buy medicines, we have to buy them from Port au Prince and it is hard to get the medicines through the gang areas. But now, we have the medicines. We just have...
Good Day - Good News - Good Things to Come! Praise God! Good things are happening at Love A Child. A box truck full of medicines, dialysis materials, and much-anticipated Christmas presents will be on its way to the border early tomorrow morning. The fully loaded cargo truck will make the 5-hour trek tomorrow. A...
Kenzy is now 8 years old and in the 2nd grade. He had many health issues when he was small. His mother would take a “Haitian boat” to bring Kenzy to our clinic. He had horrible health issues with his skin, and then, his eyes would become red and swollen. He cried constantly and rubbed...
With a sad heart, we just found out we cannot cross the Mal-Passe border into Haiti. Can't tell you how bad we feel. We could travel further North and cross another border, but the problem is we would never make it through the gangs traveling back to Fond Parisien where Love A Child is located....
