Do you have a heart for Haiti?

As an Advocate, I periodically receive child sponsorship packets. During September, I was unable to find sponsors for the two children I had and released them back to Compassion. I decided to request two child packets and try again this month as I believe we serve a powerful God who can do anything. Please pray with me for the two sweet children I have available for sponsorship! Both children are from Haiti, and I have them until December 9th. Please let me know by commenting or emailing me if you are at all interested in either of these children!


Jenny Flore Derifond is 6 years old. She was born on September 13, 2005. Jenny lives with her father and her mother. Her duties at home include carrying water and cleaning. There are 2 children in the family. Her father is sometimes employed as a farmer and her mother is sometimes employed as a seller in the market. Singing, playing with dolls and playing group games are Jenny's favorite activities. In preschool her performance is above average and she also regularly attends church activities. The average income in Jenny's community is $22 per month.
