Mother helps Haitian boy escape poverty after her tragic loss

In the Dominican Republic, a family struggled with the emotional aftermath of a miscarriage while trying to heal. During a family trip, they encountered a Haitian boy named Jonas, who was in need of help. Over time, their bond grew, and they decided to significantly extend their stay to help him. The Ohayon family eventually bought a restaurant, where Jonas contributed by helping out. When the Ohayons needed to return to Colorado, they faced the heartbreaking decision of leaving Jonas behind but were determined to find a way to help him. They contacted family and friends to sponsor Jonas for schooling in America, navigating the complex immigration process in hopes of providing him with a path out of poverty. With help from a missionary friend, they began the lengthy visa application process, which culminated in the approval of Jonas's second visa application, granting him the opportunity to pursue education in a new country. Through this process, the Ohayon family managed to provide Jonas with a chance to change not only his own future but also that of his family back in Haiti, demonstrating the profound impact that compassion and human connection can have on lives across borders.
