They were born in Jubilee and their mama died during labor. At that time, I was living in Port-au-Prince and volunteering at Faith Hope Love Infant Rescue. The twins were brought to us in Port when they were only three weeks old and weighing 3 or 4 pounds. Francesca needed a feeding tube and was hypothermic.
For the first week or two they were at FHLIR, they slept in my bedroom with me and I took care of them day and night. We were crowded at that time and didn't have enough cribs, so they slept in a laundry basket and a plastic box.
They grew and grew during their year at FHLIR. When they were a year old, they moved back to Jubilee to live with their aunt.
They will be four years old in October! So hard to believe! I'm hoping and praying that they will have the opportunity to be in our preschool class next school year.
