"One Day Haiti Will Rise"

Excerpt from the article which mentions GCH:

‍

Len Middleton, ICC Treasurer, says, “It is a daily struggle to keep Grace Children’s Hospital open because of the conditions in Port-au-Prince.” He estimates that Grace will treat over 200,000 children this year because most of the hospitals in the city are closed permanently. “Our main concern is the safety of the staff traveling to and from Grace due to the ongoing unrest in the country,” Middleton observes. “Every day, staff members have to overcome the challenges of limited food, water, electricity, Internet, and safety.”

Middleton praises the staff: “They are amazing!” Regular phone calls are made with Haitian leaders to meet needs and lift spirits. “This is the toughest place on the planet to work right now,” Middleton notes. “Yet the leadership at Grace has not quit. They keep the hospital open every day.” He calls their dedication “a testament to the will of the people.” Middleton adds, “The reason Grace has been untouched throughout all this turmoil is that we stay out of the politics of Haiti. Our focus is 100% on treating the children and making sure they have the best healthcare.”
