Heartbreak in Haiti
Praises Amidst the Suffering
 “As I cut through the dressing as gently as I could, I could see Jaune wincing. Despite Jaune’s discomfort, she never cried out or asked me to stop. She resolutely accepted what had to be done. After washing and applying triple antibiotic ointment to the wound and pins sticking out of her leg, Jaune helped raise her leg as I wrapped the final dressing around it. As I gathered all my supplies and stood up, Jaune blew me a kiss. This is the people of Haiti. Strong, resilient, beautiful, thankful.” MedSend grant recipient Allison Brown, APRN, member of medical relief team in Haiti. Read more.
“Whenever I thought things couldn’t get worse, I would turn around and someone would be singing. And not just singing, but singing whole-hearted praises to God.” MedSend grant recipient Meredith Brown, RN, Haitian medical relief team member. See Meredith’s amazing video on our News page.
