When Wilguens’ mother died, their “stepmother,” didn’t want to take care of Wilguens or his sister, Fabiola. This happens quite often in Haiti. When a man takes on another wife or madamn, the new wife will never treat the “other children” like their own.

Many times, the children, Wilguens and Fabiola, were left alone… not only for hours but for days, as their father looked for work. (Social Services did not mention their stepmother.) The children developed malnutrition. They ended up in Social Services and Social Services brought them to us.

Wilguens is quite different than all the boys. Of course, the boys are good, but Wilguens is quiet and often overlooked because he does not make a presence. But he is very intelligent. He loves to work, and he loves the church. The kids say, “He dances like King David in the Bible!!”

Wilguens wants to be a mechanic (as all little boys do in Haiti… because it means they will get to drive a truck)! There is no telling what Wilguens will become; everyone loves him! The kids call him, “Grandpa!” We love Wilguens. Let’s see what God does with his life!
