| We are now receiving help for 16 families! Thanks so much. May God keep blessing your lives. |
Lorenson (Joseph Steven). Born 1996. Lives with Mom.
Lorenson’s father abandoned the family years ago and he lives with his mom, Marie Loude Baptiste who is
54. He has 4 older sisters and one cousin. Altogether, there are 7 people that live in the 12’ x 12’ room
pictured below. The family is a member of the Petite Anse Church of Christ.
Lorenson has never been to school and has little hopes of ever going. His mom seems too frail to work,
even though she is only 54. That’s probably because life here is very rough.
In December, 2010, the family needed for $600H ($80US) for this year’s rent. After that, we need to start the
older sisters in joint business of their choice so that they can start to help the family out. Right now, they
are relying on help from the neighbors. They got half that which was for 6 months.
Update May, 2011: Again the family is in need of rent money. We are going to help them with that. They
are in grave danger of eviction.

I hope some of you remember Benson, Tchooby's younger brother seated left holding his baby sister
Tchousline. About 10 months ago or so the entire family of 6 was in grave danger of being thrown out in
the streets. A Christian reader of this blog helped them pay for a year's rent and so they were saved from
eviction. Benson attends the Petite Anse Church of Christ with his brother Tchooby.
You may also know from the Living in Haiti blog that Benson's mom is Angeline and that we pay her
$300H/month to do our laundry. Once when we visited her, she told me I didn't have to pay her because
we help her so much. She doesn't understand that I wasn't the person that paid her rent, even though I
told her so. That's part of the culture. Anyway, she is pictured with her family: Benson (15), Miskeline (13
y/o girl), Bilingue (8 y/o boy), John Peter (5 y/o boy) and Tchousline (1.5 y/o girl). Her husband left her
some time ago and she has to fend for herself. Right now, none of the kids can go to school. We would
love to put each of the older kids in school. It would probably cost $40/month per kid. We also need help
in getting Angeline on her feet with a small business.

This is 17 year old Antoine. We have known him for well over a year now. He is a member of the Petite
Anse Church of Christ.
His family abandoned him when he was 12. The area neighbors have taken care of him giving him clothes
and making sure he went to school. This amazes us. He is almost a next door neighbor of Aland, the head
of the orphanage clinic. Aland lets us know his needs if or when they become severe. Antoine is one great
kid and has done great so far with the little he has had. He continues to faithfully go to church. We are very
proud of him.
Antoine needs help with just about everything, from food to school to clothes to annual rent. A
sponsorship of $40/month would go a long way to making sure he has chance to succeed.
Update May, 2011: We are committed to putting Antoine into a professional school in September. He is
looking for one now. This kid needs a chance.

Jakenson (Degol) Pierre – 17 July 1993. Lives with Friend.
We have known Degol over 4 years now. He used to live directly across from the orphanage with his sister
Youseline, her 3 kids and grandma Juliene. When Juliene died this past September, 2010, Degol was
forced to move in with his friend a few blocks away.
Degol went to the orphanage school and was introduced to us by Murelle, the school principal. It was she
that recommended we seek help for the family. Degol has finished 6th grade. His academic skills are
marginal at best. Degol enjoys mechanics and masonry. We are going to put him in mechanics school in
September, 2011.
Degol is a great kid. We love him very much.

Once again we have revamped this page to hopefully make it user friendlier. Your feedback is always appreciated.
We are going to feature 4 families each month. We will keep each family on here for 4 months and bump the top one off and add one
to the bottom on our quasi-monthly website updates.
For those interested, we have a larger base of families needing help or who are being helped in our OKAP Family Profiles
Document. Here you can read about the families we have identified that need help (19 currently) and those that are being helped by
Christians such as yourselves (16 currently). This is a living document (government speak for it's never going to get done), so it will
change!
Click on the thumbnails below to enlarge. E me at if you have any questions and/or want to help and share with these families, who
are for the most part your brothers and sisters in Christ, the material riches God has given you.
