Nutritional Help

A young sixteen year old girl that Lifeline has been nurturing for the last two years and seemingly had more medical problems then was originally anticipated after running many tests we've realized she needs more medical assistance then we were able to provide at this time. After becoming ill once again her father took her to a clinic in Cazal, just outside of Carbbaret where they have a high nutritional program and are able to keep the patients full time on the premises. They have 70 children that they are taking care of in this program. Each day the children are provided with three meals specifically designed for children who suffer with malnutrition as well as two snacks. After visiting with her today knowing this is what she needed it is still taking time to rejuvenate her body to accepting the nutritional meals that she is receiving. She was in good spirits although she has not yet gained a whole lot of weight. She has been there for one month already and is expected to stay another three months in this program to regain her strength. We are so grateful for programs like this that help Haiti's children. Praise God that she was not another fatality and is able to receive this much needed help.
