Information: Maranata's mommy loves her and wanted to take care of her, but she is poor, so when she didn't have enough milk to nurse Maranata, she was pretty certain she was out of options.  She came to the clinic with a tiny, tiny 6 month old baby, and asked if we could help. A month on formula has made a world of difference for this little munchkin.

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: January 15, 2015

Beginning weight: 4.34 kg

Weight as of January 2016: 6.82 kg

Information:  Makendy's mama seemed to not have a great handle on raising a baby, and didn't have enough milk to nurse him, so he was slowly starving to death when she brought him to clinic for help.  At 10 months he weighed less than many newborns, and was skin stretched over tiny bones with a pathetic mewing cry.  But mama wanted her son, and was very willing to listen and learn.  With a steady supply of milk, Makendy has slowly turned around, and is steadily gaining and growing.  Only time will tell whether there is permanent development damage from his months of malnutrition.

Caretaker:  Grandmother, Germaine 

Gender: Female

Date of birth: June 23, 2015

Beginning weight: 2.3 kg

Weight as of December 2016: 3.02 kg

Information: Little Elena came to us with very little information and a sad glimpse of broken humanity.  Her mama had died when she was two months old, and nobody seems to know who her daddy is.  Her grandma, Germaine, decided to care for her, but like most Haitian grandmas, she was rather poor....and baby formula costs a lot.  So, to the clinic they came, and asked if we could help.  Elena was very small, just around 6 pounds at 3 months old, but with some TLC and better nutrition, though still tiny, she's looking good today.

Update on Chelemaque

Chelemaque Stamand, our cleft palate baby, was finally able to get the first of his reparative surgeries out in Port au Prince at the Bernard Meves hospital on November 5, thanks to a special surgery team who came in.  He will need at least one more surgery and probably several checkups, but this is progress...praise the Lord!

Please keep this little guy in your prayers, as he still has a hard road ahead of him.  He had a fairly severe case of pneumonia right after his surgery, but seems to be doing better now.  I'll try to keep you up to date as we hear back from them how things are going.

Chelemaque, with a spunky little scowl as he faces the camera a few days after surgery. :)

Information: Emanuel's mom died of unknown causes, possibly infection, when he was just four days old.  The family doesn't know where his dad is, and their ashamed ducking of heads when we ask about him likely implies that he was not married to Emanuel's mother.  Emanuel's aunt came to us with the baby, asking if we could help.  So far, Emanuel is a healthy and happy little guy, and with your help, we'd like to see him grow into a toddler that way.

Stamand, Chelemaque

SPONSORED

These piercing little eyes have already seen some hard times, even at less than three months old.  Chelemaque Stamand  was born with a cleft palate, which not only means a slim chance of getting enough nutrition, but it also means his Mama spends hours each day with a dropper, trying to get those nutrients into his little tummy without drowning him.  Nursing was out of the question, and his parents were running out of money to buy formula when they came to the clinic.  Reparative surgery has to wait until he is a few months along in life, and even then it will be expensive.  The nurses at clinic are working to make the connections to get his surgery done, but until that can happen, he's on Milk Program.

Rose-Mika Geffrand

Meet Rose-mika Geffrand, a little bundle of cuteness whose Mama was very sick and had to be on meds that made it impossible for her to nurse her little one.  An aunt brought the baby to us to see if we could help, as they were poor and had medical bills to worry about, never mind expensive baby formula.

After a month on the program, Rose-mika is gaining well, and on her way to a new look...chubbiness! :)
