Hello from Haiti!
This month we have some news from the clinic in Cap-Haitien, brought to us by Dr. Oris Guillaume, Haiti Cheri's founder and CEO.
Young Lucienne was brought by her mother for a visit to our clinic this Wednesday. She came very sick with a high fever (104º) and shortness of breath. Since she was also very tired, Dr. Clonel and Ms. Wildine quickly put her under observation. As time passed by, she was getting worse.
Ms. Roselene Sinord, the administrator of the clinic started praying for her healing since we do not have any oxygen or other treatment to help with the breathing issues. Her heart was stopped for few seconds. All the members of the clinic were panicking and praying for a miracle for her condition and her sudden situation, but after 5 to 7 minutes she was animated again. Her mother was so grateful for the clinic support and prayers.
What a mighty God we serve! Your love and partnership with Haiti Cheri save lives in Haiti every day. Who’s Lucienne? She is a patient at our clinic. She’s 11 years old. She lives in the neighborhood of our clinic. She sleeps beside her single mom atop a single mattress on the dirt floor, along with her two older sisters at the top of the mountain where our clinic is located. Lucienne eats once a day when her mom is able to provide. There is no electricity and no indoor plumbing in her house. Lucienne is bathed in a bucket, with a can of water poured over her head. The water comes from a well on another property near where she lives.
Did you know there is no insurance for kids in Haiti? According to the Ministry of Public Health, 9 out of every 100 Haitian children will pass away before their fifth birthday. Many die for lack of food or health services. They are not able to go to see a doctor for lack of of 50 gourdes (less than one US dollar) to pay for transportation. Amid sickness or death Haitians parents often say... sa se volonté BonDye... It’s God’s will. Is It? Will you join us in prayer to save a life? Are you looking for an opportunity to make a difference? We hope that you can join us to save lives in Haiti in the midst of these uncertain times. Once again, thank you for your prayers and financial support.
