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.
My prayers are with tiny Virginie. She is such a strong, vibrant woman. She will pull through.
ReplyDeleteThere's a photo on Jan 6, 2007 of her in front of her house.

I can't believe that crap like that happens. She is one of my oldest friends there. Met her in 2005 and she always gave me a hug on my return...Will have good thoughts and a few prayers....dr. jerry
ReplyDeleteOh poor little thing! Please tell her that she's in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeletePLease let Virginie know that I am praying for her quick recovery. She is such a sweet lady with the most cheerful disposition! (and very hard-working for Espwa and her grandchildren)
ReplyDeleteThank you for explaining that Virginie is the "peanut lady" - didn't remember her name ... she is in our prayers as you all are ... never a dull moment! Connie Williamson
ReplyDeleteVirginie is in our prayers. Always ready with a big hug and a smile. Hope she is up and about soon.
