Homeless women and children come to Lifeline for food

We’ve all seen the pictures of what a tin shack or a mud hut looks like here in Haiti. It’s an awful living situation that breaks out hearts. In Arcahaie there’s a group of people living in much worse conditions. Today four women and their children came to Lifeline pleading with us to bring them food.

We had been to this location before to give them food but today they came to us with a sense of urgency. They live in an abandoned building. There are over a hundred people who live all together there on the dirt floor. They don’t even have their own tent or their own space. I guess you could call it their homeless shelter.

It’s full of women, children and a few men. As we handed out the rice and beans, many people didn’t even have a plate or a container to store the food in. We saw many women holding out their skirts for the food. One precious little boy even scooped up the rice he could get off the floor.
It was distressing to see people in such a desperate condition. Praise God we found them. By God’s grace we will continue to feed these people who are in such a great need. Keep them in your prayers!
