Both of their parents are deceased.<\/p>\n<p>Birth Info<br \/>\nBirthdate: October 10, 1997<br \/>\nPlace of Birth: Cap Hatien, Haiti<\/p>\n<p>It is my hope that one of you will find your heart touched by this child and take up a bit of Christ&#8217;s work by sponsoring them for an extended period. My wife and I are sponsoring a pair of sisters and we took on the commitment based on having to only gave up a fast-food dinner each day to change the life of a child. God came through with a very lucrative bit of voice over work for me that covered the bill that same day, but it really is as easy as skipping a value meal. Healing Haiti will do the right things for these children and I have full confidence in their work. I am not affiliated with them, they don&#8217;t endorse this blog, nothing like that at all. I just love kids (can&#8217;t be Santa and not love children) and know that Grace Village is the difference between life and death for many of these children. Please open your heart and prayerfully reflect on the opportunity God&#8217;s giving us to sponsor these children. Some of them have come out of slavery and have some of the toughest lives you could imagine prior to Grace Village. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sponsor.healinghaiti.org\/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Romual\" target=\"_blank\">Just click the link and it will take you directly to the page where you can sponsor this week&#8217;s child.<\/a>  And if God is particularly good and that child is sponsored when you get there, please grab another smiling face and change their life instead. My goal is to put Sponsorship Sunday out of business as quickly as possible and take that day off each week.  Thank you. God bless you for your generosity. <div id=\"attachment_3373\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/?attachment_id=3373\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3373\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3373\" src=\"http:\/\/commotioninthepews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/healinghaitilogo.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"healinghaitilogo\" width=\"225\" height=\"173\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3373\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some of the finest people you&#8217;ll ever meet.
