This is the room a poor neighbor lets the Louis family use. It is about 10' by 8'.
Josette Louis is the lady sitting in the above picture. She has been paralyzed for eight years, ever since her youngest was born (the girl to her immediate right). Her son, Enoch, is 13 and he's standing right behind her. Guerline is 15 and she's standing to her mother's left. She was in school thanks to a generous Salesian nun but the nun was transferred a couple of years ago and Guerline's education stopped. Donald, not in the picture, is 18 and attends a free school here at laMadonne. Donald is the one who brought his mom to us and she told us that he was her guardian angel. He's the one who helps her bathe and carries her to the community outhouse. Josette's family was kicked out of the small home where they were living due to lack of payment. The children spend all their time and energy begging for food and are sometimes lucky. The prayer of the mother is that we can find her some help. I gave her food and told her we would try. One of my staff gave her 100 gourdes cause that was what he had on him. Can you help?

ReplyDeleteHow much would it cost to get them a place to live?
We might be able to help with this.

A hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars a year is what the average space costs (a room or two of a larger house). More for a house. Thank you for your kindness.

Fr. Marc,
ReplyDeleteIs it best to send a check to the Greensboro office or may I do it online through the Free the Kids site?
Sorry to keep using the comments to communicate with you. You may email me if it is easier.
