Passien is from a large family and he grew up in Jeremie, on the west coast of Haiti. His parents are farmers, and since is father was old, much of the farm work fell to Passien. He is the second of his mother’s 11 children. His parents are not married to each other. Passien lived with his father and his stepmother. His father treated Passien very badly, so his stepmother sent him to Port-au-Prince to live with her daughter. A few months after he arrived in Port-au-Prince Passien became very sick and he was taken to San Fils, a hospital run by the Missionaries of Charity. The family he was living with abandoned him there. After he was feeling better the Missionaries of Charity Sisters brought him to the St. Joseph Family.
Passien is happy to be a part of the St. Joseph Family and to have a home at Trinity House. Passien started attending school for the first time when he came into the St. Joseph Family and he is thrilled to be able to go to school.
His dream is to finish school and develop skills so he can get a good job and help his brothers and sisters.
