Pierre was born in 2003, and although his parents are no longer around, he found a loving home with his aunt, who is also his late mother’s sister. Despite the difficulties he had to face from a very young age, his aunt always watched over him and his brother and sister.
The early years of Pierre’s life were marked by health challenges, including severe malnutrition and developmental problems. His aunt had to face these challenges with courage and determination, always looking for the best solutions to improve Pierre’s life. He spend over a year with us as he healed from wounds and malnutrition.
One of Pierre’s greatest struggles is with epilepsy, a condition that often dictates the pace of his life. Epileptic seizures were frequent, sometimes several times a day, and each time it was a challenge for Pierre.
There have been 3 different times Pierre was struck by an epileptic seizure which caused him to fall and break his arm. Each of these breaks were in different places in his arms. These accident were major issues in Pierre’s life, requiring surgery to repair all three.
Thanks to the emergency funds available and the valuable support of RHFH, Pierre was able to undergo the operations he desperately needed. We also continued his medication (and increased as needed), crucial in helping Pierre control his epileptic seizures.
Every month, Pierre and his aunt come to the clinic for a check-up and to receive the medication he needs. Thanks to this regular care and our ongoing support, Pierre’s epileptic seizures have become less frequent, allowing him to live a more normal life.
Today, Pierre helps his aunt with daily tasks, and together they have found a new balance in their lives. Pierre’s aunt is grateful for every day they spend together, and she expresses her gratitude to RHFH, their supporters, and everyone who helped give Pierre a chance at a better life.
She knows that without your invaluable help things could have been very different. She thanks God for the presence of RHFH and the staff in their lives, always there to support them when they need it most.
