Closiny is from a very poor family in Port-au-Prince. One day Closiny’s mother sent him to buy something and Closiny got lost on his way and couldn’t find his way home. He walked the streets asking for help, but no one came to his aid. Closiny spent three days wandering the streets trying to find his way home. He was scared and angry. On the third day he found himself on Delmas 91, near St. Joseph’s Home for Boys. One of the boys from St. Joseph’s saw Closiny and asked him what his problem was. When Closiny told him his story, the boy brought Closiny to St. Joseph’s and they took him in.

Closiny is not handicapped, but did spend some time at Wings of Hope before moving to St. Joseph’s, and then to his current home at Trinity House.


While Closiny dreams of finding his biological family, he is very happy to have found the St. Joseph Family and knows he is “home” now. He is no longer alone and abandoned, he has a family that loves and supports him. Closiny is active in the arts programs at Trinity House and takes art class, as well as dances with the Trinity Dancers.
