Stories of Children in our Malnutrition Program

My name is Pierre Santania; I am the grandmother of Nerveline Derionise. I could never say that my little girl was beautiful because of her illnesses and even more so the fact that she was malnourished. Since the arrival of the Hands up for Haiti program in Jolitrou she has completely changed. She is much more settled and she is above all very beautiful. My wish is that more malnourished children are treated thanks to this program and that this program continues to grow thanks to God.

 
My name is Jocelyne Plizee; I am the mother of Celestin Frandley. I have visited many health care centres with my son but I’ve never seen any improvement, however when Hands up for Haiti arrived with their program I can say that it was for my son. My son has been healed and it’s a miracle for my family. Thank-you Hands up, God bless you.



Meet Winelay Charles. He is about a year and a half old and weighs 6.68 kg. He was referred to us by Dr. Jenty our doctor at Shada. He is severely malnourished. When we asked his mother what he eats she stated ‘nothing’. When we probed a bit further she stated he eats crackers. The child was extremely dehydrated. Thanks to Hands up for Haiti and MFK this child has a chance to get healthy, build up his immune system and live a happier, healthier life.

 
Meet Pierre Elfin. He was born March 19 2014 and was abandoned by his mother. A family member brings him to the malnutrition clinic every Wednesday. His admission weight to program was 5.82 kg. His goal weight is 7.03. He is severely malnourished. He has a history of reoccurring diarrhea which is all too common for kids here in Haiti.
