Cariline is a 30 year old Haitian woman who had a concrete wall fall on her left foot during the earthquake. The wall hit her so hard that it caused a deep wound. She tried to care for the wound by herself for 15 days. The lack of knowledge and proper wound care caused the foot to become very infected with oozing puss and a terrible odor. The wound continued to get worse and it was obvious to her that without some help she would lose her leg.
Cariline came to the Lifeline clinic to get the help she needed. By the time she made it to the clinic however all the muscles and tendons of the ankle were affected. The infection was so bad that the clinic staff feared that she would have infection in her blood. Dr. Yves began cleaning and caring for the wound and administering massive doses of antibiotics. After only five days of proper care and intensive IV therapy, the wound is beginning to heal. Once again Carilene is smiling.
Lifeline's continued vision is to live out the Bible by being available in Word and deed. Thank the Lord that we were able to be there to help this young lady that was in such desperate need and make a life changing difference. This wouldn't have been possible without you helping us!!! May the Lord Bless you all!!!
