Today I felt the most pure joy I have yet felt in Haiti.
Today our small friend who was injured in the car accident was finally discharged from the hospital and received official word that he has a place waiting for him at the home in Kenscoff. In his short life, he has already known so much suffering--neglect from his family, HIV, tuberculosis, a serious car accident, loss of sight in one eye--but now, he will go to a safe home surrounded by beauty in the mountains. He will have plenty of food, consistent healthcare, and an education. And he will have hundreds of friends and a family that loves and cares for him. Knowing that he's going to Kenscoff, today was the first day I saw him smile.

Well, kudos to the strength that you have all collectively showed. Nothing beats community in times like these. It is through strength among brothers and sisters that we'll be able to carry and propel ourselves into a much better plane. I hope that your friend is well-compensated and that all the circumstances behind that car accident have been taken into account, so that you all can get some restitution from all the best possible angles. Take care!

That really is good news. From all the things he’d been through in life, he truly deserves to get all the care and medical attention he needs to recover. That serves as an opportunity for him to have a fresh start.
