Dreams for the future:
Nikola was abandoned at the front gate of the Home for the Dying and Destitute, run by the Missionary Charity Sisters in Port-au-Prince, in the summer of 2006. The Sisters waited three months for Nikola’s parents or relatives to come by, but no one ever showed up. While he was staying with the Sisters, he was called “Tiga”, which means “little boy.” He eventually found his way to the St. Joseph Family and went to live at Trinity House in Jacmel. Since he was so much younger and smaller than the other children at Trinity House, he spent a lot of time alone and didn’t have many people to play with. In December 2006 the leaders of Trinity House asked the leaders of Wings of Hope to take him in because they believed he would do better in the environment at Wings. Since there is another child at Wings named Tigga, he was allowed to pick a new name and he chose Nikola. For the creation of a birth certificate for him, he was given the official name of Nicholas Pierre.
Nikola did very well at Wings of Hope, where since he was not disabled he became a leader among the children and happily helped around the house and helped the other children. He attended classes at Wings of Hope and developed the skills he needed to be able to move to St. Joseph’s, which he did in the summer of 2008. Nikola is very excited about his graduation from Wings of Hope and being able to live at St. Joseph’s. He will attend school for the first time this year and is looking forward to that. He is participating in Boy Scouts and dance class at St. Joseph’s.
