Name: Daycen
Birthday: 01/19/2009
Name: Mackendy
Birthday: 05/08/2009
Daycen was brought
to us by his father and a neighbor. His mother left him and
his 3 siblings about 2 weeks ago. His father lives and works
in Port au Prince and came back to Cap-Haitian to take care
of the kids. He is going to look for their mother and try to
make a decision for Daycen. Please pray they are able to
make the right decision for him and that Daycen adjusts well
in our care.
We have welcomed
another little one into our care. His name is Mackendy and
he weighs 10lbs 8oz. Mackendy's father is worried about his
mother and does not feel she can care for him right now. He
is hoping his mother will get better in the next few months
and they can take Mackendy back home. Please pray for his
mother as well as for Mackendy to stay healthy.
Name: Clodin
Birthday: Approx. 6 months old
Name: Anel
Birthday: 07/24/2008
Clodin is the twin brother of
Clodeson and the brother of Mikenson. He is very
malnourished, but doing well. His mother is unable to care
for the three boys. Please pray a plan is put in place soon
and that the boys continue to thrive.
Baby
Anel had been living with his mother as his parents were not
living together. His father had no idea how Anel was doing.
Anel's mother died mid-May and last Saturday the mother's
family brought Anel to his dad. His father brought him to
the local hospital right away, but they told him to bring
Anel to us. Anel weighs 7 pounds 5.2 ounces. Since his
parents were not living together, his father does not know
what he was fed or why his mother died. Anel has been
drinking small amounts and keeping his formula
down. Please pray he adjusts well to life here
and that he gains weight quickly. His father will be back to
discuss his future in 3 months..
Name: Rose Naika
Birthday: 12/04/2008
Name: Clodeson
Birthday: Approx. 6 months old
Rose
Naika came to us with her grandfather, grandfathers uncle
and some cousins. Her mother has passed away and they can
not care for her being so little. She has an older sister
they are also caring for. She is 1 month old and weighs just
over 5lbs. Please pray she stays healthy and grows quickly.
Clodeson is the twin brother of
Clodin and the brother of Mikenson. He is very malnourished,
but doing well. His mother is unable to care for the three
boys. Please pray a plan is put in place soon and that the
boys continue to thrive.
Name: Albert
Birthday: 01/18/2009
Name: Rivaldo
Birthday: 11/19/2008
Albert came from Milot hospital
after
being abandoned in a building for 3 days. A boy heard him
crying and couldn't find him so stopped someone on the road
to help. They were able to find his mother, but she
is unable to care for him and his 6 siblings. He is doing
well and is a true miracle.
Rivaldo is the
little brother to a little one we have in our formula
program. Their mother asked for help for both children, but
she has since brought her daughter to her mothers to be
cared for and she is doing very well there. Little Rivaldo
was just born on the side of the road. He seems to be doing
well and we will care for him until his mother can make some
decisions. So far he is a healthy newborn.
Name:
Djoulissa
Birthday: 10/21/2007
Name: Maranatha
Birthday: 03/21/2009
Djoulissa
is back in our care after being with her mom for a few
months. Djoulissa first came to us the beginning of 2008 for
two months. She has club feet and needed casting changes
weekly that her mom couldn't afford. She has since had
surgery and will be starting castings again soon. Please
pray for her adjustment back with us.
Maranatha was brought to us by
her father. Her mother had been sick while she was pregnant
and shortly after giving birth she passed away. She was born
in a town far away from us, but her father is from CAP.
After her mother died, he brought her to Cap-Haitian with
him. He also has a 3.5 year old son and is not able to care
for Maranatha at this time. She weighs 4lbs 12oz. Please
pray she gains weight quickly. Her father plans to take her
home in 3 months if he can find some help.
