Acene is a 21-year-old guy whose determination to succeed in life may be sidetracked by a medical issue beyond his control.
Acene has a hernia that, if left untreated, could strangulate and turn into a “life-threatening and incredibly painful medical issue,” according to doctors at Living Hope Haiti. They say he, “needs to get it taken care of to live a healthy and prosperous life.”
Acene is a student in the 10th grade. His doctors point out, “Although a 21-year-old 10th grader in the US is not common, it shows that he had the good sense to return to the classroom after a couple of years off. Absences like this are usually caused by financial difficulties in the family, as high school in Haiti is not free.”
Unfortunately, medical care in Haiti is not free either. Acene’s family cannot afford the $400 surgery he needs to ensure his hernia doesn’t turn into a fatal medical problem. We hope to help Acene have surgery so he can finish school and live up to his potential.

Acene is unfortunately not going to receive the treatment you funded, so we've just sent you a gift card in the amount of your donation.
Unexpectedly, after his medical care was funded on Watsi, Acene did not come to his scheduled appointment and has since lost contact with our medical partner.
We are so sorry for our delay in giving you Acene’s final update. Our medical partner hoped they could make contact with Acene, but they now suggest we reallocate his donations to another patient.
We’ve just emailed you a Watsi gift card for the same amount as your donation to Acene. We’d love for you to use this gift card to support another Watsi patient of your choice. But if you do not want to reallocate your donation to another patient, we’ll gladly refund your contribution.
Thanks again for supporting Watsi patients, we can’t tell you how much we appreciate it.
