Jamesly grew up in Port-au-Prince. In 2000 his mother died giving birth to his little sister. He never knew his father. After his mother’s death he went to live with his grandmother, who had a hard time caring for Jamesly because he didn’t earn much money. His grandmother was working for a group of nuns and she asked them to help her find a place for Jamesly to live and go to school. The nuns knew about the St. Joseph Family and brought Jamesly to us. Jamesly is very happy to be a member of the St. Joseph Family and to be able to have the opportunity to go to school. He is involved the art programs at Trinity House and likes to play soccer and basketball. Jamesly describes his current life like this, “I have been treated with value and respect. I have food to eat, I go to school and I am happy to be here and to be cared for.” When he gets older Jamesly wants to live in his own house and have a good job so he can take care of his younger sister.
