Nehemie is a two-year-old boy living in Haiti with his three older siblings and parents.
“Nehemie is a little boy affected by cleft lip and palate disease,” our medical partners, at Project Medishare, share with us. “He does not have the capacity to eat normally and when he drinks, sometimes he almost chokes on the food that he is eating…this condition prevents the little boy to feel comfortable and he is not well nourished. In a recent group of plastic surgeons that came to the hospital, Nehemie had the chance to have surgery to fix his cleft lip and that was a success; now he needs surgery to fix his cleft palate in order to finish with the treatment.”
It will cost $960 to fund the final surgery to treat Nehemie’s palate, but his family does not have the means to cover that cost. Nehemie’s father tell us, “I am very confident, I have seen already what has been done and I am waiting for the last surgery to finish with everything and take my son home.”

Nehemie received surgery to correct his cleft palate.
His doctor reports, “Nehemie has had a very good surgical intervention to fix his condition. He has completed the treatment and now he is more comfortable and he is able to eat and drink normally.”
“I feel very good and confident because the first surgery was a success and it is the same thing for the last one. I was not thinking that things would happen so fast and accurate. The palate of my son is now fixed and I am very happy for him. The biggest problem I had with his health situation is that he was unable to eat and drink easily but now I am very happy because he had the surgery and everything will be different,” says Nehemie’s father.
