COVID and Our Children

  Do we all remember what this past March and April felt like? Remember the confusion? The worry? The fear?

  We have relaxed somewhat and most of the country is slowly awakening to the new "normal"

  Those early spring emotions are just stirring in Latin America and Haiti. They are still climbing with no peak in sight. Our NPH homes are safe but the virus looms at their doors. They do not have the resources we have to see this through safely. Political unrest, poverty, homelessness, insufficient medical assistance..... magnified in the developing countries where our homes are situated.

  August 4 marked the first  and only death of a child within one of our homes. Unlike here in North America, Latam health care workers are derided and threatened with death because people believe they are responsible for spreading the virus. Food security within the homes is also in jeopardy due to various barriers in each country. Our nine homes are coping but the situation worsens daily. 

IF YOU ARE ABLE, PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A SPECIAL DONATION, A LITTLE EXTRA FOR OUR CHILDREN'S WELFARE!
