Rose is just a little girl, but she's already lived through more pain than most people see in an entire lifetime. Her father died before Haiti's devastating earthquake, leaving her mother alone to care for her baby brother and older sister. When the earthquake hit a month ago today, Rose and her mother lost more than they could imagine.

Their home collapsed, crushing her 15-month-old brother and 12-year-old sister along with two workers who were in the house. Rose barely survived.

A wall from the house fell, trapping Rose for an entire day before someone could rescue her. Her mother took the injured girl to a nearby hospital in Petion-Ville, but they couldn't help. That's when Rose and her mom found our mission hospital in Fermathe.

Though Rose's injuries were serious and the deaths of her siblings cut through her heart, she says she wasn't afraid.

"I didn't think I would die because I knew Jesus was with me," Rose says.

The doctors at the BHM hospital used skin grafts to heal the wounds from Rose's badly broken arm, and she remains in the hospital as she continues to heal.

"The doctors and nurses gave me life and medicine," Rose says. "I could have died if it weren't for them. I'm thankful for their courage and their willingness to come. They saved so many lives."

Rose's mother also suffered injuries from the earthquake, but she is now healthy and working to support her precious daughter, her only surviving child.

Join us in praying for total healing and peace for Rose and her mother. They are the survivors, and they know God saved them for a reason. We rejoice in His faithfulness and in the bright future that lies ahead for this special little girl.
