NEW KIDS we are helping!
We also have 8 additional children we are helping by paying for their school this spring. They are Egains Jerome (16, Boy), Nai Ka Jerome(15, Girl), Maudite Jerome (13, Girl), Kendy Jerome (7, Boy), Wistinky Jerome (4, Boy) and Jean Romin Casimir (14, Boy), Esther Casimir (10, Girl) and Ruth Casimir (6, Girl). We found the Casimir girls outside of a school in the town of Fond Parisien. They were malnurished, infested with worms and dressed in rags. The Jerome children are part of a family with ten kids, five who are older and the five we are helping. The Jerome children could not afford school and lived about a two hour walk in the mountains. We have rented the mother a home in town and have put all the kids in school for the rest of the year.We have already paid for tuition, books, supplies and uniforms for March and April however we need help paying the bills for May and June which is $215 per month or $430 Total.
Ten Kids, Inc. is a non-profit with 501(c)(3) status pending.
