Marcferson Sylvain is known by the nickname of Macky. Macky is from Port-au-Prince. Macky’s parents abandoned him when he was a baby and he lived with his aunt. He was not treated very well by his aunt and her family. One day his uncle took him somewhere in Port-au-Prince and told Macky to wait for him there and he would come back and get him after he purchased something. Macky’s uncle never returned and Macky was forced to spend the night on the street. For the next few days, Macky continued to live on the streets as he tried to find his way back home, but he didn’t know where he was or how to find his house. He was found living on the streets by the Haitian Department of Social Services, who brought him to the St. Joseph Family.

Macky has lived at both St. Joseph’s Home for Boy and Trinity House. He has also left both homes during his time with the family because after spending time on the streets he found it difficult to follow the rules and responsibilities that are a part of the St. Joseph Family. But, he now seems to have made the adjustment and is doing well both within the St. Joseph’s Family and at school.

Macky loves to dance and is active in the dance company at St. Joseph’s. His dream is to be an agronomist and help farmers.
