Update- brothers

Judeson

Getro

I've been asked a couple of times for an update on the three brothers who were in an accident back in early July.  I am very happy to report that the three are doing amazingly well.  The oldest, Jameson, had his mandible repaired and is fine now but with fewer teeth.  He was absent when the photo was taken.  Judeson (above) has pins in his leg but gets around pretty well.  No soccer for the immediate future.  Getro who suffered a fractured skull is on the mend and is attending school.  Thanks to all who made donations to help them.  The boys and their family are most grateful and ask God to bestow His blessings on you.

Three brothers

This is the story of three brothers.  Last Saturday there was a field trip to Port Salut.  A truck was rented and over 30 people went there to enjoy the beautiful beaches.  On the way back the truck lost control, went careening down the steep road and flipped over.  Nine folks died and many were seriously injured.  Three brothers were there and all three were hurt.

This is eleven year old Getro Raphael who is suffering from a fractured skull.  The local doctors have done what they can and want him sent to Port-au-Prince for some scans and surgery.

This is eight year old Judeson Joseph who has broken bones in both legs/feet.

This is Jameson Joseph, nineteen years old.  He has a fractured mandible and needs surgery in Port-au-Prince.  Both of Jameson's parents are deceased.  He lives with his step-mother, the mother of his two younger brothers, in Camp-Perrin and just finished the national exam for secondary school.

When we saw the three at the general hospital their wounds had yet to be dressed and they had received no medication.  We've since provided antibiotics and pain medicine.  We'll be able to care for the youngest, Judeson, but we need help with Getro and Jameson.  We don't know how much this will cost or even what is involved but we need to do something.  Please consider helping.  Will keep you informed.  Thank you.
