One of the biggest purchases provided by the 2024 Matching Grant was new desks for our classrooms. This replacement was overdue, but until this time, it simply was not financially possible.

Last week we welcomed Ysmerline Angel House Orphanage. She is estimated to be about 2 years old and had been abandoned to a local hospital when she was just months old. Although generally healthy, she is blind in one eye. She often appears to be giving a sour expression because she will squint as she works to focus on what is in front of her. Because she has been confined to just her crib, she has underdeveloped muscles and cannot walk on her own yet.
Comerson had been discarded. His mom abandoned him on the streets of Port-au-Prince, and he was close to death. A street vendor took this severely malnourished and listless baby boy to the local authorities. The social service agency in Haiti contacted Three Angels to see if we would be willing to take him in. In all honesty, this baby was very sick and some were preparing for him not to make it.
