We have just returned from working on disaster relief in Jeremie, Haiti. We have received some good news from Dieuferly, one of our Love A Child children. We found him in the mountains when he was about three years old, part of a family of eight children, he had severely deformed club feet. We brought him down to our orphanage and sought care for him. He received some surgeries here in Haiti that were not done properly for club feet. As a result of several major operations, he has been in a lot of pain most of his life.
Through the help of our friends, RL and Vanessa in the Dominican Republic, we were put in touch with a great surgeon. He has done one operation on Dieuferly’s worst foot. Dieuferly is still in the Dominican Republic because he cannot leave until he sees the surgeon. His appointment date is September 14th. At that time, he may be able to come back to Haiti. And then, when the time is right, he can have the surgery on his other foot! It would be our “dream” for this young man!
Dieuferly is one of our photographers and is in the Dominican Republic studying “editing” with Watson, who is our photographer and has experience in editing. We just want to thank you for your prayers and thank those of you who helped financially with his surgery! We feel so blessed by God to have you as our partners! All glory to God!
