While working with the Association of Women of Middle Poles Hinche, TDRP provided a health screening day this past June. Over 130 people were screened.

A two-year child was identified as having scalded skin syndrome, a condition where skin cells are unable to attach to each other, thus leaving this sweet baby with large open wounds resultant of large pieces of skin falling off due to the inability to remain attached to her body.

When we first met her she was immediately rushed to the hospital for IV antibiotics due to sepsis resulting from the inability of her loving mother to pay for medicine to heal the wound. A common thread in this community which is led by amazing women who had no access to healthcare prior to our arrival.

Thanks to our donors, TDRP was able to provide complete care to help in her healing.

At her checkup today, she was found to be healing nicely from her recent bout of skin trauma and in this picture, our field coordinator, Summer Benson, tends to her wound with dressing changes.

This is medicine in rural Haiti. And yes, the moto is our ambulance.
