Part of the vision of Rescue Haiti’s Children is that we provide specific helps to specific members of the Body of Christ suffering in Haiti, especially where the needs are in the context of fatherless children. With this in mind, our good friend Sabrina, a nurse-midwife, brought us to meet Jean Roselaurie—a dear Christian woman expecting a child and suffering from a post-polio syndrome which leaves her walking on all fours.
Jean lives with her three children and one on the way on a mattress and under a plastic tarp. Her smile is big and beautiful, and her gratitude to God downright stunning. All this despite the fact that her first husband died, and second abandoned her after the earthquake, leaving her alone, without help and expecting a child. Her living conditions are unimaginably bad by American standards—almost non-existent shelter, but she has learned to make do. Supplies were brought, and Jean was very thankful.
After the meeting I prayed with her that God would meet all of her needs, spiritual and practical, and that the child growing in her womb would be born healthy, and would have the favor of the Lord upon it. Finally, Rescue Haiti’s Children provided the resources for her to get some key medical treatment and has agreed to buy the land for Jean, on which her future home will be built by another Christian organization that agreed to do so if we would get the land.
