What began as an ordinary day of playing with friends quickly turned into a painful accident for Claudy. While running, he tried to slow down but lost control and crashed into the cement wall of a house. The impact was severe, and after being sent for X-rays, doctors confirmed that he had fractured his wrist.

Claudy comes from a hardworking farming family. His parents grow beans and corn to provide for their four children—two girls and two boys. The family lives in a simple two-room home with tarp walls and a tin roof. They have no running water, no flush toilet, and no outhouse, and they must walk 30 minutes each day to collect water. Their average monthly income is only $60.

Claudy was able to travel to a hospital for care for his broken wrist, ThenClaudy stayed at our Rescue Center, where he was provided with a high-protein diet to help his body heal properly. Nutritious meals are an important part of recovery, especially for children whose families struggle to provide enough food at home.

Thirty-two-month-old Michenaica arrived at our clinic after a two-hour walk with her mother. Weighing only 9.9 kg (about 21.8 pounds), she was suffering from severe acute malnutrition (-3 SD) with 1+ edema caused by kwashiorkor. She had also been battling a fever, a cold, and intestinal worms, making her weak, tired, and unable to grow as a healthy child should.

Michenaica lives with her mother, brother, and extended family in a small three-room home built of clay and rocks with a tin roof. Her father works in the Dominican Republic, while her mother supports the family by buying clothing in bulk and reselling it, earning an average monthly income of just $50. The family has no running water, no flush toilet, and no outhouse. Every day, they walk about 30 minutes to collect water from a nearby source.

When Michenaica arrived, our medical team immediately admitted her to the Nutrition Center. She began treatment with F-75 therapeutic milk to stabilize her condition before transitioning to Medika Mamba as her strength and appetite improved. She also received treatment for her fever, cold, and intestinal worms.

Thanks to the compassion of our donors, Michenaica received the specialized medical care and therapeutic nutrition she needed to begin her recovery. Your generosity gives vulnerable children the opportunity to heal, regain their strength, and look forward to a healthier future.

At just 26 months old, Dieulizabelle had already faced more hardship than most children ever should. Weighing only 4.6 kg (about 10.1 pounds), she was suffering from severe acute malnutrition (-4 SD) when she fell and broke her leg. She was also battling a fever and a persistent cough, leaving her small body even weaker. Her mother believed the illness and injury were the result of a curse, but thankfully, she chose to bring her daughter to our clinic for help.

Dieulizabelle lives with her mother and three siblings in a one-room cinder block house with a tin roof. Her parents are no longer together, and her mother works hard to care for all four children despite having very limited resources. The family has no running water or flush toilet, although they do have an outhouse. Every day, they make a 30-minute walk to a hand pump to collect the water they need for cooking, drinking, and washing.

After evaluating Dieulizabelle, our team arranged for her to be transported to a hospital for specialized orthopedic care. Thanks to donor support, Real Hope for Haiti covered all of the expenses, including her transportation, X-rays, medical evaluation, and the cast needed to stabilize her broken leg. Without this assistance, these services would have been completely out of reach for her family.
