A Father’s Love

Danitas Children • Jul 27, 2017

Jean France is an incredibly loving father. He and his wife have their hands and hearts full raising four young children.

An ordinary Sunday afternoon quickly turned into a medical emergency when his toddler fell into a pot of boiling water. Jean was desperate to find help for his little boy who suffered from third degree burns.

Barkley and his father.

Neighbors rushed over to help the family and one man told Jean about Danita’s Children. He wrapped Barkley in a towel and took him to the ministry gates. A nurse was leaving the property after her shift when saw the baby. She immediately grabbed the baby and ran him upstairs where our medical staff began treating him for his burns.

Barkley stayed in the medical center for 16 days and received everything he needed to completely heal. His father never left his side. The entire family is so grateful for the compassion and the care they received at Danita’s Children.

A few weeks ago we sat down with Jean and he spoke about his experience at Danita’s Children, “I have been to many hospitals and ministries in this country. How they treated my son and my family at that hospital, it restores my faith. If it was not for Danita’s Children, I would be in so much pain. I would be in debt and my son may not have received the treatment he needed to get better.”

Your generosity provided immediate and quality medical care through the Hope for Haiti Medical Center.

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Danita's Children Medical Center is saving lives! Will you partner with us? The expansion of our NICU opened earlier this year and is already making an impact in the community we serve in Haiti. Families are able to access the specialized care their critically ill infants need to survive. I wanted to share the story of baby Fonrose, one of the very first patients admitted into our NICU.

Jules’ mother came to our hospital back in October 2021 when she noticed that her son may have a hernia. She was able to have a consultation with our doctor and found out that he did need to have surgery to repair the hernia.
