Give Isemaison a chance for health and education!

Blandine JoyeuxLed by Blandine Joyeux

His name is Jean Isemaison Gerlin. We met him on the streets of Cap-Haïtien selling candy between cars. Both of his parents have died, and despite everything he is facing, one of his biggest wishes is simply to go to school. But Isemaison also needs immediate medical attention. During our first interview, he was wearing a hat and we could see that he had suffered a serious eye injury from a car accident. When our journalist returned for a second interview, we discovered that the damage extended beyond his eye to his head. He needs to be evaluated by medical professionals as soon as possible. My name is Blandine Joyeux, creator of Voices From Home Haiti, and I'm asking you to trust me to help him. This fundraiser will first address Isemaison's medical and educational needs, while also helping us support at least 20 - 50 vulnerable children in Cap-Haïtien, and 3 elderly women in a remote mountain side of cap haitian and their village with needs such as food, education, medical care and other essentials. And I promise you transparency. Our journalists on the ground will conduct follow-up visits and provide regular updates so you can see how your donations are being used and the lives they are impacting—while protecting the dignity of the children we help. We cannot help every child overnight. But we can start with one. Donate whatever you can. If you cannot donate, please share. Let's get Isemaison the medical attention he needs, get him back into school, and give more children in Cap-Haïtien a chance. Haiti's children deserve more than our sympathy. They deserve an opportunity.
