Nazalie’s mother died in childbirth, leaving four children for their father to raise. Haitian fathers don’t want to keep a newborn if their wife dies because the babies are breastfed, and when they lose a wife, there is no one to feed the baby. So that is why they try to find a home for that baby.

Nazalie is a sweet little girl. She loves the “praise dances” and loves her dolls. But she had a very bad head infection. We sent her to a dermatologist, but all he did was take our money.

I made a mixture of lard and yellow sulfur. Some of you suggested things to add to the mix, i.e., triple antibiotics and cortisone for itching. I added one more item, and we scrubbed her head twice a day with soap and betadine. We put the mixture on at night and washed it off in the morning. It worked!

She is doing well now. You can see her picture and know “she just took her bath!” (Haitian kids are told to put powder on their neck after a bath so that everyone will know they are “fresh!”)  😁

We love Nazalie!!

She is a keeper!
