This story deeply moved me. It all began in 2014 when Sarah encountered a three-month-old baby named Nika while volunteering at a hospital in Haiti. Sarah, a recreational therapist for children and adolescents, didn’t hesitate to take charge of ensuring the health of this little girl.
Nika was born in a precarious situation; her mother was involved in prostitution, and the baby suffered from a condition where she stored excess cerebrospinal fluid in her head. Despite the urgent need for medical attention, Nika’s mother neglected her, causing her condition to worsen. Despite the odds, Nika survived, thanks to Sarah’s intervention.
Sarah struggled to persuade Nika’s mother to provide proper care, but her efforts were in vain. After returning to the United States, Sarah remained committed to helping Nika. When she returned to Haiti, she found Nika’s situation unchanged.
Learning about Nika’s mother’s attempts to terminate the pregnancy and sell Nika for “investigations,” Sarah realized the severity of the situation. Visiting Nika’s house, Sarah found her in a deplorable condition, surrounded by garbage and severely underweight.
With the authorities’ approval, Sarah took Nika into her care, officially becoming her mother through the necessary legal processes. Nika received the love and care she desperately needed, and last year, she underwent a surgical procedure in the United States that significantly improved her quality of life.
For Sarah, every day with Nika is a blessing, showcasing the power of love and faith. Sarah’s big heart and unwavering commitment transformed Nika’s life into a miracle. This inspiring story reminds us to appreciate life’s blessings and overcome challenges with love and determination.
