They are beautiful. Their hearts are beautiful.
Their stories are beautiful.

When a women comes into our program, majority have only delivered at home.

It is either their first pregnancy or they are very experienced.

The sweet child that is growing inside of them or that is in their arms. Their families. Their bodies. Their health.

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."
James 5:16
We can not do this without your help. Medical care is expensive here. Delivery at the clinic is $300 US alone, which may seem inexpensive but to a Haitian, they will do everything they can to avoid having to go to the clinic and pay this fee with the money they need to feed their family.
[[ These women are special to me. They encourage me to work harder at my creole, at my midwifery classes, to pursue my dream of being able to personally deliver their children in an environment that is relaxing and comfortable. ]]
They are helping me grow in my trust with God. That He is in control. That He has plans already set in stone. That there is always a beginning of a journey and that I need to trust Him to get me through the ups and the downs.
" Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand." Psalm 73:23

In Christ's Love,
