Prayer Request

Virginie, pushing seventy, was hit by a motorcycle today who just left her there bleeding in the street.  Could not take her to the General Hospital as they are on strike again.  We took her to CiteMed.  Doctor thinks she has a concussion.  Can't verify as we don't have the equipment.  She recognized Nathalie so that's a good sign.  The poor are all saying that if you get into an accident tonight, might as well say your prayers cause you won't find treatment anywhere else.  What a pathetic situation!  And the Haitian government wants to control the billions of dollars of relief aid!!  Yeah, right!
To those who don't know-- Virginie is part of the ESPWA family.  For years she worked in our kitchen and made the best roasted peanuts.  She's been sick of late and we help her out.
