Thank you for standing on MIDDLE GROUND with us in 2025,

In 2025, 110 children were admitted into our care for malnutrition.

One of those children is WENDY 💕
Wendy was just 11 months old when she was admitted, weighing only 18 pounds. She was battling moderate malnutrition and living in an extremely vulnerable situation with two young parents.

During her 36 days as an inpatient, Wendy gained over four pounds, strength, and a future. She even celebrated her first birthday at our center. Today, she is recovered and entering our follow-up program, with the hope of celebrating many, many more birthdays to come.

Stories like Wendy’s are only possible because of generous donors like you.

⏰ There are just 48 HOURS LEFT in our year-end campaign. ⏰
We are so close to reaching our goal — and every gift right now has the power to push us across the finish line before the new year begins.

If you’ve been thinking about giving, this is the moment. Help us ensure that more children like Wendy get the chance to grow, thrive, and celebrate another birthday.

Merry Christmas 🎅🏿🎄❄️🎁✨

Last week, we had a holiday party at Middle Ground. Almathe's exact words were, "it was fantastic, it was awesome, it was such a blessing!"

Over 100 families attended and all the children in attendance received a small gift, too. For many of them it was the first Christmas party they ever attended, and maybe even for some, the first wrapped gift they ever received, too. Thanks to a generous donor, we were also able to send the families home with food kits to have food through the holidays. The kits included rice, beans, pasta, sardines, milk, and various other items.

Enjoy some candid photos from the party!

Wishing you all a very merry & joy-filled Christmas🎄

As joyful as all of our Christmas celebrations are, they coincide with real and urgent needs. The suffering and malnutrition the babies are facing is extreme, and the cost of care is significant—but so is the impact of your generosity. A year-end gift to our $30k in 30 Days campaign is more than a donation; it is a life-restoring act of love for the littlest ones in our care.

We've made great progress the past few days with 72% of the funds now raised! We have nine days left in the month, can we reach this goal for our own Christmas miracle? Together, we can make it happen, gifting these babies the gift of life!

This week in Haiti a much deserved party to celebrate our staff will be taking place.
As we reflect on how far our programs have come, we must acknowledge the staff, who has not only sustained Middle Ground, but expanded it! They’ve refined programs to better serve families while also shaping them around their own unique gifts and passions.

Some staff who come quickly to mind are:
B, who has poured her heart into family advocacy, walking alongside families through their most vulnerable moments. P, who worked tirelessly for years to become our Head Nurse, bringing skill, compassion, and steady leadership to our medical care. Rosita, who continues to build bridges with community leaders, strengthening trust and collaboration beyond our walls. C, whose passion for education has transformed how we support caregivers, equipping them with tools that truly change outcomes for children. *shortened to initials for protection*

These leaders show up every day amid uncertainty and unrest. Some days, they risk their lives just to get to work. And still, they choose perseverance. They choose to fight for Haiti's future by caring for her children. They choose to lead with courage.

Thanks to your generosity, we are over half way toward our $30,000 goal. With 15 days left in the month, we are holding on to hope that this goal can be fully met! Your year-end gift helps ensure these dedicated leaders have the resources they need to keep saving babies, serving families, expanding programs, and showing what’s possible for Haiti's future even in the midst of crisis.

Together, we can continue to invest in the people who have truly risen to the occasion.

meet EVENCIA 💕

Evencia was brought into our clinic in April. She was born prematurely to a young couple and was just a little over one-month-old upon admission, weighing only 4 pounds 5 ounces. She was diagnosed with Marasmus malnutrition and spent 43 days inpatient. In that time, she gained well over three pounds, her mama was given access to much-needed support, and together they were able to return home.

For the past six months, she's been seen regularly in our follow-up program. She now weighs almost 17 pounds & continues to thrive at home.

Evencia could have easily become a statistic, losing her life to malnutrition, but thanks to the support of our programs, she has a bright future ahead of her 🥰

The best way to support our programs & bring healing to more babies like Evencia is to join our $30k in 30 days campaign - a year-end fundraiser that helps us build a solid foundation for the new year!

We’ve been walking alongside a special family since 2023 after the older brothers, Soniel and Wilson, graduated from our inpatient program after a 45 day stay. Their transformations were remarkable and they've been attending school and thriving at home.

But this last year, their situation took a tragic turn. Forced to flee the escalating gang violence in the Kenscoff mountains, they relocated to the Tet Dlo area. However, their new home is inadequate, with no latrine, a leaking roof, and two small rooms for eight people. Their possessions and livelihood were stolen, and now the children are once again gravely malnourished.

In mid-November, Roselene, the younger sister, was admitted to our center. Soniel followed, and last week, Wilson was brought in unconscious, severely dehydrated and starving after surviving on water for days. He had gone to school for four consecutive days without food and was dangerously close to death. Thanks to our team, Wilson was stabilized after three days and sent home with enough food for two weeks. His siblings are still inpatient (shown here), but the situation is dire.

Their family is just ONE of 173 families, that we have identified, displaced by gang violence this past year. While we continue to provide inpatient care and follow-up support, it often feels like we can never do enough. But with your donation, we can continue providing life-saving care, give hope to families like theirs, and empower the caregivers who make it all possible.

This work matters because every person we serve—every child, every caregiver, every family—deserves the chance to thrive. Your contribution to our year-end campaign can make all the difference.

✨THANK YOU✨ for standing on MIDDLE GROUND with our team in Haiti as they fight on the front lines each and every day.

A story we want to highlight this week is something near to Almathe's heart. Almathe has been Middle Ground's Haitian director since 2019 and provides us with valuable real-time updates from Haiti. As we are in the middle of our year-end fundraising campaign, she wanted to share a story that’s close to her heart.

The goal this month is to raise $30,000 in 30 days. Right now, we’ve raised nearly $14,000, and today's stories are telling of the lasting impact Middle Ground is making for so many families in Haiti.

Recently, we’ve been able to implement teaching caregivers to write their names. It’s a simple skill, but one that has profound effects. Many of the families we serve have caregivers who don’t know how to write and, understandably, feel embarrassed of this. But, when we empower them with the ability to write their names, we are not just teaching them a practical skill—we are affirming their worth and dignity. We are creating generational change.

Marie Rose, mama to Babylove, had to leave her fingerprint on Babylove’s admission file because she couldn’t sign her own name, proudly signed her full name last week when Babylove was discharged! We were able to capture the moment with a photo (shown below). "She was SO proud," Almathe said, "It's moments like these that really touch my heart." These small victories are cultivating HOPE for a more empowered tomorrow. It is a transformation we must celebrate as it’s moments like these that keep us going!

Babylove was admitted at 16 months old and spent 29 days inpatient. She gained almost five pounds and went home in her mama's loving arms fully recovered from malnourishment.

If we haven't met yet, my name is Kayla and I've been on the Middle Ground board since 2022, but this last year I took on more of a leadership role, accepting the co-executive director position at the beginning of 2025.

My love for Haiti began in 2009 and from 2012-2019, I lived in Haiti full-time, just north of the capital, Port-au-Prince. I married a loud, joyful Haitian man and together we adopted three beautiful children and welcomed our fourth biological child last month. While the unrest in Haiti has kept us out of the country for several years now, we have continued working and advocating for her people every day since our departure. Joining the Middle Ground team has been the perfect fit and I long to see mamas delight in their babies as I have the privilege to delight in mine.

It won't matter how many years I work in Haiti, though, I will never fully understand how a mama feels at night when they listen to their babies' hunger cries. Nor will I ever feel the deep fear & sorrow a mama faces as she searches for care when her child is sick, only to find the hospitals are full & the clinics are closed.

Yet, I cannot imagine, also, the relief & rejoicing that happens when a mama is welcomed in & her baby is admitted for care. Which is what continues to happen day after day at Middle Ground's inpatient center. It has become the greatest honor stepping into this leadership role because I'm seeing firsthand the lives that are being impacted.

The before & after's take my breath away...
to know a mama gets to keep holding her baby instead of burying her baby...
the world shifts; holy, holy, holy.

These mamas love their babies just as much as I love mine;
there is no difference when it comes to that.

Almost $11,000 has been raised for our year-end campaign; the goal is to raise $30k.
Join me in making a one-time donation today to see this goal fully met!

meet BENSLEY 💙

he was admitted into our inpatient center mid-October and was treated for severe kwashiorkor malnutrition; upon admission, he weighed only 15 pounds as a 13 month old.

he spent 43 days inpatient, consumed 43 packets of mamba, and gained over 2 pounds by the time he was discharged!

he will now enter our follow-up program for continued care & support!

his transformation is ONE of 100 children, who have been treated for extreme malnutrition at our inpatient center this year; join us in our FINAL campaign of the year, as we strive to raise $30k in 30 days!

these final funds will launch us into the new year as we hope to keep our doors open for another 365 days, serving the most vulnerable in Haiti
