With ten days left in November, we are eager to see our RENT campaign fully funded. The good news? We are HALFWAY there!

Why this campaign? Why now?

Every new year brings one major expense right away—our annual rent. In Haiti, rent has to be paid all at once for the whole year, and the $13,000 bill has put us in tough spots before. By planning ahead and raising these funds now, we can step into the new year ready, able to cover the rent without worry, and start off with a stronger foundation.

This last week, we also admitted our 99th AND 100th patient for extreme malnutrition. Two little girls; one is 6 years old and the other is 15 months old. The need remains so great, but our inpatient center is providing an essential service that is life-saving for so many.

Meet WISLEY 💙

When Wisley was admitted into our inpatient program in late September, he was just 5 months old and weighed only 10 pounds, 7 ounces.

He spent 50 days in our care, and during that time he made a remarkable recovery, gaining more than 3 pounds and regaining the strength every child deserves. Just last week, he was discharged and will now enter our follow-up program for continued support!

As we dedicate the month of November to raising the funds we need for our 2026 rent, Wisley’s story reminds us exactly why our center must remain open.

Wisley’s family is one of many who were forced to flee their home due to violence this year. They’ve been living with his mother’s cousin since the attacks and still do not know if their own house is even standing. Their crops, which were their livelihood, have also been destroyed. For now, they depend on the cousin’s generosity.

But while at Middle Ground, Wisley found safety. He found care. He found healing.

And that’s only possible because our inpatient center remains open.

💙 If Wisley’s recovery inspires you, please consider making a one-time donation today toward our 2026 RENT campaign. Your gift—of any amount—helps ensure families like his always have a place to turn when they need it most.

meet WIDLOVE 💕

Widlove graduated from our inpatient center just over a week ago after a 36 day stay. She was admitted weighing just 19 pounds at 18 months old. By the time she was discharged, her lively personality had returned and she had gained 3.3 pounds!! She enjoyed 41 packets of medica mamba.

She will now return home with her mama. As the firstborn, we are so thankful Widlove is in safe, loving arms + her mama can hold onto hope, knowing care is available for her little one.

Middle Ground remains a refuge for so many families. We are currently raising funds to ensure our rent can be paid in the new year. Would you consider a one-time donation today towards our RENT campaign so that stories like Widlove's can continue being written in 2026!?

Last week we admitted our 94th patient of the year. His story holds the same pain, suffering & fear as so many of them do. Our greatest honor is to welcome them through our gates— help is here, healing is coming, and hope can still be held onto.

Last week we also launched our RENT for 2026 campaign. With the new year on the horizon, we’re working to secure the foundation that allows all of this important work to continue—our rent being paid!

Our malnutrition center is more than walls and rooms. It’s a refuge and source of hope where life-saving work takes place every single day.

Our rent is paid in full each January and the amount due is $13,000. So far, $1,500 has been given. Would you help us keep Middle Ground’s gates open for every child who needs us in 2026?

Your gift, no matter the size, makes healing possible.

a word that quickly comes to mind when thinking about what Middle Ground is to those we serve is ✨ REFUGE ✨

Our center provides not only safety & shelter to families as the children are recovering from malnutrition, but our programs offer relief in a holistic way, ensuring health & recovery for years to come.

We have officially launched our RENT campaign, which aims to secure the funding needed to pay our rent in 2026.

As we paid careful attention to Hurricane Melissa, we are thankful Middle Ground was spared from the storm.

Moments like these remind us just how fragile life and infrastructure in Haiti truly are. We are reminded just how vital it is that Middle Ground continues to stand as a refuge of hope, healing, and safety.

This past week also held a significant loss as one of the children we admitted in critical care lost his battle with severe malnutrition. Our team poured out every ounce of skill & love, but the damage was simply too great.

And in this loss, we are reminded of the sacred role Middle Ground plays. Here, no caregiver faces their battle alone. Here, hope is offered. Here, compassion surrounds every child and family who walks through our doors. Their battles will not be fought alone.

Today, we officially launch our RENT campaign. This is a vital effort to secure the funds needed to keep our doors open and our mission moving forward in the new year. The needed amount is $13,000. Again, these funds ensure that we can pay our rent without hesitation or fear of interruption.

We’re praying for a community of generous hearts to rise up with us—people who recognize how deeply Middle Ground matters, and who believe in the light we continue to shine amid the darkness.

Will you stand with us—and help us keep that light shining bright?

In the last week, we have admitted two extremely critical children into our care. Both are facing many complicated health issues due to malnutrition.

Our staff is working tirelessly to provide the care needed to see them make a full recovery –– would you stand on MIDDLE GROUND with us and pray for these sweet babies?

Thirteen children are currently inpatient. Your continued support of Middle Ground allows us to provide this life-saving care 🙏 🙏

We are keeping a close eye on Hurricane Melissa as it is expected to devastate parts of Haiti's sourthern peninsula.

While Middle Ground will not be impacted by the storm, we stand in solidarity with those in the south and ask for prayers of Southern Haiti, Jamaica, and all the lives + vulnerable communities that will be impacted by the storm.

Per "For Haiti, Melissa arrives as a cruel blow. The storm's outer bands have already saturated western (southern peninsula) Haiti with heavy rains, destroying 37 acres of maize (corn) crops in three regions & jeopardizing the winter harvest. This exacerbates acute hunger levels, with 5.7 million Haitians at crisis or worse food insecurity and 1.9 in emergency conditions.

Forecasts call for up to 16 inches of additional rain through Tuesday (10/28), raising fears of renewed flash floods and landslides in a country where infrastructure is fragile and access to remote areas is limited by ongoing conflict."

meet KEVIN ✨

Admitted at six months old, weighing just 5 pounds 8 ounces, he has been a mighty warrior since the day he was born!

He was diagnosed Marasmus malnutrition and in just 34 days, he gained almost four pounds with a discharge weight of 9 pounds 4 ounces! His treatment began with the administration of F-75 every two hours (F-75 is a therapeutic milk that helps stabilize & rehydrate the patient). He was so incredibly tiny upon admission, our staff had to keep a close watch over him. Thankfully after a few days, he became stable and was eventually able to have medica mamba, too (a therapeutic peanut butter paste that is administered to almost every patient facing acute malnutrition).

We are thankful for Kevin's transformation – the last photo is of him at his 2 month follow-up appointment! He's gained another pound since discharge & staff report he remains in good health; praise be! 💕🙏

To support transformations like Kevin & ensure all malnourished babies who arrive at our gate can be cared for, consider joining the COALITION today – any & all contributions help us in our fight against malnourishment

While violence continues to grip Port-au-Prince, our malnutrition center remains safely tucked away as a place of refuge amid the storm. However, the cases coming to our gate are more critical than ever, which is a heartbreaking sign of how deeply this unrest is impacting the most vulnerable: the children.

To add to the gravity of the situation, it was announced last week that Doctors Without Borders has permanently closed its emergency hospital in Port-au-Prince.

"Doctors Without Borders said (last) Wednesday that ongoing violence in the capital of Haiti has forced it to permanently close its Port-au-Prince emergency care center, which had been a key lifeline in a city now 90% controlled by gangs. More than 60% of the capital's health facilities, including Haiti's general hospital, are now shuttered or non-functioning because of the surge in gang violence." - Source AP News

The battle rages on. And in moments like this, it may feel easier to look away. But we cannot. We mustn’t. We must stand firm for every child who comes to our gate.

With just two months left in the year, our most urgent need is for more people to join the COALITION — our core group of monthly supporters. Whether it’s $10 or $100, monthly contributions keep our center running, allow us to admit children, and continue operating our follow-up care to help graduates stay healthy.
