This week has brought overwhelming grief and continued medical emergencies for families connected to the 7:10 Foundation in Haiti.
One of our widows, Joasilia Metellus, tragically lost her son, Kechnel Mytil (40), to gang violence near Cité Soleil. Our Haitian team has been sitting with her, grieving alongside her, helping provide food, emotional support, and assistance as she tries to process unimaginable loss.
At the same time:
• Rose continues receiving treatment for chronic ear infections, recurring fevers, severe dental infections, and complications connected to sickle cell disease. Additional medications, ear treatments, cleanings, and dental visits are still needed as infections continue returning.
• Mme Elissianne continues monthly doctor visits, medications, and monitoring for ongoing health concerns related to her heart and cholesterol.
• Daniel’s mother is struggling physically and mentally while battling illness and malnutrition.
One message from our Haitian director this week said:
“Sometimes sister I am like someone without mind, too much going on. I feel like screaming.”
Another:
“Headache every day because too many bad news.”
This is the reality many families in Haiti are facing right now:
* Gang violence
* Medical instability
* Food insecurity
* Unsafe travel
* Overwhelming grief
* Constant emergency needs
Yet through it all, our Haitian ministry partners continue showing up for widows, children, and vulnerable families every single day with incredible faith and courage.
Current urgent needs include:
* Medical appointments
* Prescription medications
* Ear and dental treatments
* Food assistance
* Transportation
* Support for grieving families
* Ongoing widow care
Joasilia is hoping to organize something in her son’s memory, and we would love to help support her during this heartbreaking time.
Most importantly, please pray:
* For comfort for Joasilia and her family
* For healing for Rose and the others battling illness
* For strength for our Haitian directors and ministry team
* For peace and protection throughout Haiti
If you would like to help support these ongoing needs, donations can be made through:
7:10 Foundation
We also have an urgent need for a reliable Android phone for our Haitian director, Rodnald.
Communication in Haiti is extremely difficult right now, and his phone is one of the main lifelines connecting:
* Widows needing help
* Medical emergencies
* Child sponsorship communication
* Safety updates
* Transportation coordination
* Emergency aid distribution
A good working Android phone — even a quality used or refurbished one — would make a huge difference for ministry operations on the ground.
If someone would like to donate:
* A gently used unlocked Android phone
* Funds toward a refurbished phone
* Or funds toward purchasing a new one
please message us directly.
So much of this ministry depends on simply being able to communicate during crisis situations, and right now that need is very real.
