Pòl

We met Pol when we first visited Cayes Jacmel in February. His wife brought us into their house to meet him. He was sitting on a mat on the floor where he'd been sitting for 3 months straight. He has diabetes. While diabetes are fairly common and treatable in the states... those same simple resource aren't as readily available here. Pol's feet and hands were swollen. And he had a diabetic ulcer on his leg. He didn't have a doctor to tell him what to do or a clinic to help him manage his diabetes.

But with the help of medical professionals in the states, Leve Project has been able to monitor Pol's blood sugar and treat the ulcer on his leg. Thanks Kay VanFleteren and Lisa Everhart, along with others who have helped us help this family!!
