Prayer Request - November 19, 2003

Good morning from Haiti!

We greet you this morning with hope for a better future for the children of Haiti! We currently do not have very many children at Grace Children's Hospital - we hope this is a sign of better health, but we are also aware it may be a result of the deteriorating economy which makes it more difficult for families to bring their children here.

I ask for your prayers this week for this little (very little!) one Ansdelie Jean-Baptiste. She came to us in early October, seriously malnourished and with several other problems. We have subsequently identified a chronic heart problem, and we also suspect she has Down's Syndrome. Her mother has since stopped visiting - most likely because she feels she cannot care for this little one with all these problems. Please keep this family in your prayers.

in hope and grace,

Susan Kronbach

Chaplain, Grace Children's Hospital
