Moodlie

Moodie

​This is my young friend Moodlie.   I have watched her each day for some time wandering down the narrow path that leads past Caroline's house in the mountains not far from the village of Fon-De-Nèg Haiti.  

She drew my attention because she is so young yet each time I saw her she was alone, apparently headed somewhere with little time to spare.  She is so sweet but usually quite dirty with unkept hair and an unwashed face.  

She rarely has shoes and when she does they are clearly not her own.   Her little outfit consists of a well worn tee shirt, dusty and full of holes.   Her dress is not a dress at all but another tee shirt with the neck tight around her waist. 

Today I was drawn to talk with her as she passed on her return trip.  I learned her name and she told me she is five years old. 

We were able to find her a pair of shoes and I walked with her a mile or so to a small thatched house where she lives with her mother and baby sister.  

My heart broke as she showed me with some pride the small house with one bed that they shared and the few other possessions that filled it.   Their mother works in the market, clearly for very little income, so Moodlie is left to watch her little sister much of the day.   

Today I ask for your help, would you help us provide shoes and clothing for Moodlie, her baby sister, and so many others that live in our small mountainside village.   I am not asking you to spend a lot of money, in fact I'm not asking you to spend any money at all.   Our own children, or children we know are outgrowing things every day that these children desperately need.

Would you help us gather children's clothing and shoes to send to these little ones?  

We now have an opportunity to send a large quantity of clothing in a covered truck that will be shipped to Haiti in late April And another in May.

​If Moodlie has touched your heart as she has mine, please call me at 612-500-1995 or drop donations of at 1799 county road 90 #6.   Maple Plain MN 55359.   (office of First Pitch Inc) by April 14th.  
 
Thank You for your interest in Caroline’s House
