Pierre is a 64 year old farmer and grandfather from Kenscoff who was attacked by gang members on his way home from church a couple of months ago. He then suffered a stroke. His cousin risked those same gangs to drive him a harrowing 11 hours on a motorcycle to CCH, because love is stubborn! Pierre received immediate care at the Primary Care Clinic, and ongoing PT/OT rehab to regain his full function in walking and speech.

Healthcare requires daily presence and ongoing support. Stubborn love leaves no gaps in care! You can help folks like Pierre with a gift today: https://www.cchaiti.org/donate/

It's Haitian Flag Day (Jounen Drapo Ayisyen)! Originally sewn on May 18, 1803 by Catherine Flon with guidance from her godfather, Haitian revolutionary leader Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the Haitian flag is a source of pride for Haitians worldwide.

A few weeks ago, 3-year-old preschooler, Frantzcy, arrived at school with a cough and fever. His mom had been worried about him all weekend and was so relieved to bring him to the school nurse on Monday. "I'm so happy the way the children are cared for, including receiving the medicines we need for free," said Frantzcy's mom. With some medicine and rest, he's all better now.

So far during this school year (October 2025 through March 2026), school nurses had 870 student visits to the infirmary for illnesses or injuries. That's 870 times a parent didn't have to take off work or pay for a moto taxi to get their sick child to the clinic!

Compassionate CCH donors make all of this possible. Thanks for helping us take care of Frantzcy and his friends at school! https://cchaiti.org/donate

Nazaire (photo center) didn’t come to CCH’s Primary Care Clinic for anything urgent. He mentioned a strange metallic taste in his mouth, something he had been living with for months, easy to ignore, easy to push through.

At intake, Maria (photo right), a CCH Primary Care Nurse, paused; his blood pressure was high, and his blood sugar was high. In a full clinic, it would have been easy to move on, but instead she brought him directly to Dr. Rachelle Frézin (photo left), our Primary Care Physician. Treatment began before the situation became harder to manage, and today his condition is stable. That outcome depends on someone noticing, and having the training and tools to act.

Across Haiti, it’s getting harder to catch problems early. The healthcare system is under growing strain as clinics close or reduce services, access becomes more difficult, and families travel farther and wait longer just to be seen.

At the same time, demand is rising, driven by internal displacement, food insecurity, and ongoing instability, putting increasing pressure on the clinics and hospitals that remain open. At CCH Clinics, that pressure is visible every day. Through March alone, there have already been 7,497 patient visits across primary care and rehabilitation, along with hundreds of vaccinations, putting the clinics on pace to exceed last year’s totals.

Nazaire, the Community Development Liaison with CCH, had been living with those symptoms for nearly a year. Left untreated, conditions like his can worsen and become far more serious, but because it was caught when it was, he was able to get the care he needed. That window doesn’t stay open for long.

This is where the kind of support you provide matters. Healthcare only works when it is predictable, reliable, and consistent—when families know the clinic will be there and care will be within reach.

Your gift helps keep the clinic open and staffed, so when the next patient arrives with something easy to ignore, there is someone there to catch it—and the resources to act before it’s too late. We cannot be the place where that moment is missed.

Because love is stubborn. And it keeps showing up—just like you do.

Mesi anpil to Immanuel Presbyterian Church in McLean, Virginia, who invited Abby Gwaltney from CCH to share on "Legacy Sunday" May 3rd. There are many ways to leave a legacy. At CCH, ours is the thousands of lives we transform each year in Haiti through healthcare, education, and community development.
