Provide Specialty Formula for Babies in Haiti

How will this effect the children at God’s Littlest Angels? 

The fees given to an orphanage to care for the children is being reduced by a couple thousands of dollars per child.  Haitian Social Services has told us that we are to raise funds to care for these children by other means.  

We do not want to compromise the care of any of the children in the orphanage.  We want the same education, medical care, social worker review, amount of staff, food, that they receive now. Each orphanage no matter the level of care they provide will receive the same amount of funds for child care.  

We believe orphanage care is more than providing just the basics for a child.  We believe they should have the same nutrition, schooling, medical care as children living with a family.  A baby without it’s mother should have baby formula and not just whole milk out of can that can make the baby sick.  Your gift can provide the much needed baby formula for these fragile infants to survive.

Even for GLA, raising funds is difficult and depends on so many factors in the economy. Your donations will help ease the pain of our financial burden and continue to help us give the children the best possible care we can. 

Can you help ?

Thank you for taking the time to read the update and support us.

This beautiful little girl, who I will call Lande came to us in mid April. We believe she was a little over a year old on arrival. At just 12 lbs 10 oz, Lande had obvious signs of severe malnutrition. She was treated right away and we slowly increased her food intake in her beginning days here. We thought for sure she would turn around quickly and she did well for about the first week... and then that's when it happened, her organs started failing. Her abdominal organs were palpable, she struggled to breath, she grimaced and gritted her teeth in pain, and then she become non-responsive to stimulation. For over one week, she was touch and go. On multiple IV antibiotics, respiratory treatments, and oxygen supplementation. Deep down, I truly thought we were going to lose this little one. Many of the nurses and nannies would hold her and try to comfort her and she fought for her life. Day after day she continued to fight. Day after day she got a little bit better. Day after day Jesus touched and healed her frail body. It is now three and half months later and beautiful Lande is bright and full of joy. She is now over 19 lbs and lights up the nursery with her beautiful smile, fun personality, and those deep, amazing dimples! We are so thankful for God's healing hand and we thank you for all your prayers. Way to go Lande!

Lande is doing so well, your gift of formula has allowed her to go from just surviving to thriving! The flight in this young girl is undeniable. We thank you for giving her the gift of life through formula!
