Zachary’s Holy Shirt

Look at little Zachary. He is nearly five months old, but he wouldn’t be alive today if we hadn’t rescued him from his Voodoo mother.
As many of you know, his mother came to our Mobile Medical Clinic with her baby, Zachary, months ago. She told the doctor she was “sick,” but when the doctor “suspected there was something wrong,” he began to ask her how many children she had? “Five,” she said, “but they all died! And, my little girl is missing.”

We agreed to take her home and two nurses who knew her accompanied us. When we arrived, the neighbor came running out and said, “Please take the baby with you. This woman said that she was going to kill the baby with a butcher’s knife!”

We called the Haitian Department of Social Services and they told us to take the baby. We did! Baby Zachary was not in good condition, but we cared for him. Today, he is doing well! Notice the “holes” in his shirt. The room mothers cut holes in it because of the heat! He is fortunate to have a “holy” shirt! And, he’s a happy baby!

Thank you, partners, for saving lives!
