Meanwhile, back at...

This is Elsie.  She's 16 years old and has been blind since age eight.  She came here yesterday accompanied by her mom to ask for help.  She lives with her mother and three siblings in a rented house in town and the rent is due.  They have no money.  I'd like to send her to Hopital Brenda (an ENT hospital) and have her checked out but our budget is already over-extended.  Rent is 8,000 Gourdes or US $200 for the year.
