We as a family have sponsored a little 5 year old girl named Roody Carmelle Joseph, she lives in a village outside Port au Prince Haiti. We chose her because we thought she reminded us of Ella. We have been sponsoring her for over a year now through Compassion International, we send her cards and pictures and she will write us letters and draw pictures for us. We are very worried about her, her family and the people in Haiti. From all the news reports and other blog's I read, it is complete devasation there.
We got an email from Compassion saying they would let us know as soon as they have any news, but I expect it could be weeks or months before we will hear if Roody and her family are ok. We prayed tonight as a family that she is safe and well and that her family is safe and well. She has several siblings and is being raised by her father.
I also follow a blog of a US missionary family living in Port au Prince, www.livesayhaiti.blogspot.com They seem to be holding strong but are completley overwhelmed. Everything they have worked so hard to build and the relationships they've built. It all seems gone at the moment, just trying to survive is the most important thing.
Please pray for the Livesay family in Haiti, our little Roody and the people of Haiti. Send relief money, they are the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and now it is completely at loss. They are in the hands of those that will help and will send help.
Haiti has been close to my heart for a few years now, I have always wanted to travel there and work in an orphanage. I pray that someday we will, but for now we pray for the people.
