PAL Humanitarian Services Inc. hasn't added a story.
Baby Kendley and his mom urgently need our help.
A neighbor was boiling some water to make spaghetti, and in the blink of an eye the baby knocked over the pot and charcoal stove onto him.
The burns are so bad and he is so young, the Puerto Plata hospital felt they were not equipped to deal with it, and transferred him to the ICU at the Santiago children’s hospital.
His mother, Berline is a young teenage student in the grade-six class at the Youth Upliftment School that we support.
She was victimized by a man in his late 40’s and fell pregnant. That man is not in her life, nor was he charged.
Berline has never had an easy life, and recognized that she would be caught in the cycle of poverty and violence so many women here face. She told me she has made a choice that her future will look different than the life her mother lived. She comes to school everyday and is more determined than ever to graduate. She dreams of going to high school!
Part of the donations are being used so that she can buy food for herself everyday. Being so far away from home she has no family or friends to bring her anything to eat. The medicine the baby needs also must be purchased as well as everything else he requires( milk, diapers, wipes, etc).
Our first ever fundraising project in 2011 before Dominican Starfish Foundation existed (raised by Jack and Louise ZoBell) was for baby Eliezer Gardner.
The kind donations that came in literally saved his life.
This is the handsome young man today!
PLEASE HELP BABY KENDLEY AND HIS MOM BERLINE!
Charitable tax receipts will be issued in both Canada and the USA.
