A real challenge

Perhaps you remember Minouche who was adopting a Haitian baby. We brought her down with Team 1 on a Jet Blue flight and she found her adopted baby in PaP. Minouche's sister saved Minouche’s newly adopted daughter in the earthquake.   She grabbed the little girl and jumped from the roof of their home. The little girl didn’t have a scratch, but the sister had five breaks in her lower leg. Infection set in and the doctors in Haiti removed Minouche's sister's the leg below the knee.

Minouche's sister is having a rough time with recovery. There really isn’t any recovery or rehab in Haiti. Partners in Health (PIH) said that if we had a doctor in CT write a letter stating s/he would be responsible for her care, there is a chance she could be flown to CT. She also needs a nurse, but Minouche is an LPN so that seems to solve that problem.

Can anybody help? If so contact Pam Koprowski at pam.koprowski@gmail.com
