Remembering Sister Ariana

 

We are sad to announce the passing of one of our Residents at Auberge des Vieillards.

We have known her as Sister Ariana.

Our prayers are with those closest to her, her family, friends and caregivers, as they grieve her loss.

We are grateful for her presence with us, her life and influence, and that she was able to be cared for with dignity up until her final hours.

Introducing....

Mimose

We are delighted to introduce to you a brand new friend at Auberge des Vieillards.

Sister Mimose is 55 years old, a widow who suffered a stroke this year while coping with the loss of her husband and the chaos of gang violence in Port au Prince.  It appears that in the confusion of that time, her grown children escaped, but left her behind.  She was brought to Pignon by her sister and her nephew, to be cared for at A des V.

Such circumstances are hard to fathom, and we do not pretend to understand all the factors that contribute to this difficult story.  But we are glad to know that Mimose has been welcomed into a safe place where her physical, emotional and spiritual needs will be tended to.

Also, you may remember the young man named Jean-Richard who suffered a spinal cord injury at the age of 16 and had come under the care of A des V at age 25.  He has been able to find housing and separate support more suitable to his needs, and has moved on to what we hope will be a stronger future for him.  Another resident named Maprina has now returned to the care of her family.

These comings and goings are part of living a dynamic life of serving God in the care of the most vulnerable of His beloveds.  We continue to pray for the senior residents themselves, and all those who care for them.

Plans are underway for Highview's Annual Haiti Dinner and Silent Auction, coming up early in the New Year.  Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 21, 2025 and stay tuned for more details!!!

We're Safe in Pignon

 Just a quick note to let everyone know that our friends at Auberge des Vieillards are unaffected by the recent hurricane that has devastate the island of Jamaica and the south regions of Haiti.

We continue to pray for all those who are suffering, displaced, homeless and disoriented by this storm.  Also for the governments and aid agencies working to provide relief.

Staying Linked In

In our partnership with Auberge des Vieillards in Pignon, Haiti, it's important for us to continue to see our dear residents in the bigger context of the nation of Haiti.  While so much can vie for our time and attention around the world, there's always a more connected pang of concern for what's happening in and around our own friends.

I offer here simply a suggested bit of reading to keep you updated.  These days, it behooves us to be prudent in selecting our sources, and I am trying to provide reliable links.  But I will leave it up to your own discretion and research.  Perhaps this will prompt other online searches as well.

The Haitian Times

AP News Haiti

CTV News Article on Doctors Without Borders

Feel free to share in the Facebook comments sections if you have other good sources to share.

And finally, another important link to connect you with is the direct donations contact information through the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada's (EMCC) website that receives and passes on all donations for the seniors' home itself - Auberge des Vieillards at EMCC World Partners Auberge des Vieillards 

As always, thank you so much for your love and support of our dear friends at A des V.
