Geraldine was abandoned in 2012 in the yard of the medical clinic at Real Hope for Haiti. She was very malnourished and sick when found, and had been neglected.
Geraldine has severe disabilities and is unable to sit or stand on her own. She does not speak but does laugh a lot.
She is generally a happy little girl unless she is hungry. She can roll over on her own and hold her head up if laying on her stomach. She has a good appetite and eats and drinks well. She loves mangos and juice. She enjoys being around other children and loves to listen to music or singing. Geraldine also enjoys being outside on a mat or sitting propped up in a bumbo seat.
She can see and does recognize faces and voices. She is very attached to her foster family. Even though she cannot speak when she hears a voice that she knows she will smile and react to them.
Her mom is very thankful for the special diapers that were provided for her, thanks to Jake’s. It helps her to keep Geraldine clean. She also likes the bag that they gave with the diapers, to help keep them in a place until she is able to wash them.
Little by Little, Gerladine was granted life with people who care. Thank you to our supporters who continue to allow us to send diapers to people in need.
