We don't often present individual situations publicly, but for this particular young man, we thought some of you might want to get involved.
While I was in Haiti, I was able to briefly visit CERMICOL. One of our young men whom we’ve known for some time caught my attention because he looked so thin and frail, in addition to expressing that he felt ill.
For the last two weeks we have spent a great deal of time looking for answers. Here's what we know at this point: he is suffering from Grade II Malnutrition. There may be contributing factors to this, but we're still in the process of trying to determine what those might be.
For now, we are providing supplemental nutrition directly to him. We will monitor his weight to see if there is any improvement, as we continue to work with medical personnel to see if there are any other health concerns that need to be addressed.
Haiti Awake will cover these expenses, but we wanted to make the opportunity available to others who might want to partner with us specifically as we invest specifically in this one life.
Some of you might remember this story I shared two years ago:
I very much know this young man’s name and face now, and he is precious to me. His name is constantly on my heart, and I am asking that you please considering praying for him and partnering with us financially to allow us to expand the food being provided specifically to him.
