Cleavert Fresidor*

Now we want to put him in a Christian school and give him a chance at a bright future. We need a donor for $100. per month or four $25. per month donors, to feed, clothe and send him to a Christian school.
*When an orphan reaches eighteen years of age, the orphanage by law, must send the child out. There is no job, no safety net and no family. These children usually end up on the streets surviving by stealing or prostitution. Their life is generally miserable and life expectancy short. Mercy International takes these children off the street, provides a loving family for them and trains them in an occupation that will allow them a chance at a better life. We also take traffic vulnerable children off the streets and provide the same opportunities for them.

Abed Fresidor*
Abed also came to us downtrodden and malnourished. He aged out of the orphanage at eighteen years old. He is gaining weight now and wants to pursue an education. With your help, we want to put him in a Christian school and give him a chance at a bright future.

Loveca Larose
Loveca comes from a very poor family in our mountain village. Mom was unable to care for her or to pay for her school. A family in our village of Merci de Dieu (Thanks to God) was willing to take her in, care for her and educate her, as is common in the Haitian culture. We need a donor for $100. per month or four $25. per month donors, to feed, clothe and send her to a Christian school. This will give her a chance at a life that would have otherwise been unthinkable.

Fedeline Vaval
Fedeline is one of the kindest people you will ever meet in your life. Unfortunately, she was born unable to walk because of a leg deformity. She took her first steps after we were able to provide her with surgery. Walking is still very difficult for her. As her parents and grandparents have passed away, she is currently living with an unrelated older woman. We know she will struggle to live, as people with disabilities get bullied in Haiti, but we would love for her to be happy and have a future. We need a donor for $100. per month, to feed, clothe and provide her with a private tutor as she is unable to attend school.

She is now required to take a blood thinner and see her cardiologist once a month. We are looking for a sponsor for $150. per month so that she can see her doctor and take her prescribed medications.
College Students
These students have worked through highschool and thirteen years of schooling. Only 2% of Haitians graduate highschool and even less go to college. Let’s make their dreams a reality.

All of these children live in the village of Merci de Dieu (Thanks to God). Their families were given a home there after the earthquake as they were living in a slum, under tarps held up by sticks and were desperately poor. Despite their difficult circumstances, each of them excelled in school and graduated, an accomplishment that only two per cent of the children accomplish in Haiti.

It is a dream that will lift them out of poverty, not only the student, but the student’s family as well.
