Dreams for the future:
Dodley was born in Port-au-Prince and has no memory of his parents. Both died when he was very young. Dodley lived with his aunt and uncle and one of his sisters. Since neither his aunt nor his uncle were employed, it was hard for them to care for Dodley. They eventually brought him to the St. Joseph Family as asked us to care for him. The family knew about the St. Joseph Family through a Haitian friend who is also a friend of the St. Joseph Family. Dodley is very happy to be a part of the St. Joseph Family. He knows he is receiving lots of opportunities to learn and grow, which will help him in the future. One of Dodley’s sisters was adopted and now lives in the United States. She has returned to Haiti and visited him and they stay in contact with one another.
