A FEW PEOPLE ASKED US ABOUT FR TONY.THIS IS THE LAST PICTURE OF HIM TAKEN IN HAITI.HE HAD TO RETURN TO THE STATES WHEN HE BECAME ILL,DUE TO THE DRS AND HOSPITOLS HERE ARE BETTER EQUIPPED TO TAKE CARE OF HIS PULMONARY PROBLEMS.THESE 2 BABIES HAD BEEN LEFT ON A CHURCH STEP WITH THE UMBILICAL CORD STILL HANGING AND THEN WERE STILL BLOODY WRAPPED IN 1 BLANKET WITH A NOTE THAT READ "I CANT FEED AND CARE FOR MY BABIES"*IT IS NOT UNCOMMON IN HAITI FOR MOMS TO LEAVE BABIES ON THE CHURCH STEPS OR SIDE OF ROADS

TAMMY

Tammy was a teenager who had emailed us.She wanted to know if we ever get curtains ,pictures for the wall and things to make a house a home.Tammy and her siblings had always lived in and out of motels.Although her mom worked a part time job it was never enough to get a place they could call home.Tammys father had skipped out on them yrs before we received the email.But a blessing in disguise happened for this family.Their father had been receiving disability checks in another... state.And when the welfare office found out Tammys mom was given back childs support which enabled them to finally afford rent on an apartment.When we met the family they were all well mannered and more than eager to bring in the items we  had for their new home.Which included dishes,pots,curtains,blankets,linens,old small dresser,silverware and even some clothes to fit the children.This was the first HOME they had ever had.And we often think about the many children who are still living in motels who will never be so lucky.I often wonder if more fathers would pay child support if that would change living situations for many?

Request from Peaches..................
