This breaks my heart. My son had kwash. while living in Haiti. He is now 3 years old and has been home for 5 months. He is doing great, but it hurts to be reminded of the pain he once felt as an infant. Thank you for the work you are doing serving Jesus and the people of Haiti.
Good work educating and motivating us! mom
