One of Preemies in her incubator.
We have been receiving preemies from different hospitals around Port-au-Prince and from an ambulance service in the city. We currently have three babies in incubators. They were tiny on admission. they weighed between 2 pounds and 3 pounds. They all needed oxygen and two needed bilirubin lights due to jaundice. Most hospitals cannot provide these things here in Haiti. The few who can were full and could not take these babies. Our nursery provides not only for the babies but we also encourage the mothers to come and stay with their precious ones. We want to teach the mothers how to care for these tiny babies so by the time they are ready to go home, the mothers are experts at caring for their child! They are also able to eat well while here and go home strong and healthy with their babies.
We need your help to keep our nursery going. Without donations, we cannot provide this free service to Haitian mothers and their premature infants. We ask nothing from the mothers except to love and help care for their babies. We do not want to burden them with having to find funds to pay for hospital care when most cannot even afford to buy food!
Please help us care for the Premature infants of Haiti by making a donation today!

Surviving and Thriving
By Joel Rockemann | Director of Social Media - God's Littlest Angels

Before a baby is brought to us, we never quite know what to expect with regard to their health or history. But we know they'll have to fight for their lives...and fight they do! We're always amazed at how tough these little babies prove to be regardless of how young, tiny and malnourished they are.
Just look at how much this sweet boy has grown since January! When he came to us, he was severely malnourished, dehydrated and was having difficulty regulating his temperature. But he fought to survive and we did what we could to help him along. Now we're helping him to thrive and grow strong despite his difficult start into the world.
It's only through your generous donations, support and prayers that these kids receive the advanced medical care and supplemental nutrition needed. What's just as important, is that your giving allows us to provide medical care at our NICU free of charge to families who would otherwise have no way to pay for it.
YOU are a blessing to the ministry of GLA. YOU help premature little ones like this amazing boy to survive and thrive through your donations!

We believe it's true that we can provide Great Care for the little premature babies who are brought to us only so long as an Even Greater Love is driving the mission. That Greater Love is YOU!
Every time you give to support the work of the God's Littlest Angels NICU here in Haiti, your love is facilitates our ability to give great care and together we are saving the lives of more little babies every year. In Haiti, premature, malnourishe and special needs infants are never given much hope for survival. Because or your generous donations and even greater love, GLA is able to offer IV therapy, incubators, oxygen and CPAP therapy to save the lives of even the littlest children born in some of the harshest conditions the world has to offer. Also because of your donations, we're able to give all of this treatment free of charge for families who would otherise have no way to pay for such exttensive care.
So there you have it -- Great Care With Even Greater Love for the kids within the GLA NICU is possible because of you. We thank God for you every day and for your desire to partner with us in caring for these sweet children!
