Manieska is a two year old Hatian child from a village that is near the Love A Child orphanage. Love A Child Missionaries Bobby and Sherry Burnette have been following Manieska for quite some time due to her medical condition.
Manieska has a very large tumor that has grown on her bottom.
Love A Child has been working feverishly to obtain medical attention for this little girl. They obtained her passport and had several positive leads on surgeons in the United States who would be willing to do the surgery to remove the tumor.
Little Manieska died on Saturday (November 18, 2006). She was yet another child lost because of the lack of proper medical care in the nation of Haiti. It breaks our hearts to know that this child died because of poverity and not having access to physicians.
Please keep Maneiska's mother in your prayers. She loved her daughter very much and she did all she could to care for her. Just two weeks ago her mud hut was blown away and she's now having to stay with relatives in another hut. Please pray that God gives her a peace during her time of grief.

I must say that I came accross your blog a couple days ago and I bookmarked it so that when I had more time, I could stop by and visit. I love your blog and I think that what you are doing in Haiti is just amazing! I will be back to visit very often!
I will be praying for Maneiska's mother and family.
With Love in Christ,
Cindy
