photos - medical cases - part 2

This mother lives in the Bel-Air area and came searching for help for her 7-month-old son, Jackenlove.
He has kwashiorkor malnutrition and is currently in the Missionaries of Charity Hospice receiving medical care for his malnutrition. Once he is released the mother will be placing him into an orphanage. His legs are swollen from the effects of the malnutrition.

This is his twin brother. He is not quite as sick. The mother can not look after both of them and has decided to place one of them, Jackenlove into an orphanage. The father died while the mother was 4 months pregant in an accident on Morne Cabrit.


Taina Senat is a young girl with osteogenesis imperfecta. She has already had several fractures. She hasn't had any fractures in the last couple of years though.

Her leg bones are bowed because of the fractures. She doesn't stand or walk. Pray for strength for her.
