Port au Prince remains under siege in the hands of violent gangs while the US and Canada focus on Ukraine. A neighbor told us, “Driving to work is like playing Russian Roulette.

Another neighbor was kidnapped at gunpoint with her husband and mother. While they in captivity, her father had a heart attack and died. Her 80 year old mom did not eat for the entire 8 days she was held. She is slowly recovering from the horrific ordeal.

Death to Life

Our March return to Cap Haitian was postponed to April as a dear friend went into hospice 2 days before our scheduled flight.

The night of Yvonne’s birthday, we received a text that her Jewish friend married to a Haitian business man was going into hospice. Yvonne’s friend only lasted 30 hours more, and we were at her bedside until her transition.

Yvonne prayed aloud as she saw heaven’s gates open, then I read the 23 Psalm; on the last line our completed Jewish friend took her Messiah’s hand and entered heaven.

Yvonne and Barbra were friends in Haiti for the past 20 years. On Thanksgiving '22, Yvonne felt impressed to do a three day fast for her friend with metastatic breast cancer that had gone to her brain.

On the third day of the fast, Yvonne told Barbie, "My greatest fear is when I get to heaven you won't be there."

The friend asked, "How do a I get there?"

We grieve but not as others do; we will see Barbra again!

Our packing includes frozen meats, chicken, cheese, pastas and other essentials like yeast, baking powder, baking soda that if found in Cap will be triple the US prices. Black market fuel is $8.00/gallon. Inflation in Haiti is in excess of 50%. We have solar panels for power there but not enough power to run an air conditioner; and temps will exceed 90 degrees.
