Guyvenson Jolifis is known by the nickname Sonson. Sonson was born in Petit Goave. He used to live with his grandmother because he was abandoned by his parents when he was a baby. When his grandmother could no longer care for him she sent him to live with his aunt in Port-au-Prince. After awhile his aunt could also no longer afford to care for him. She knew about the St. Joseph Family through a friend who is a St. Joseph Family graduate and asked that Sonson be allowed to join the family. After Sonson became a part of the St. Joseph Family he met his mother for the first time and developed a relationship with her, but remained living with the St. Joseph Family because his mother could not care for him in her home.
When Sonson joined the St. Joseph Family he was sent to live at Wings of Hope. He is not handicapped, but was just too young to live at St. Joseph’s Home for Boys or Trinity House. Eventually he matured enough to move to St. Joseph’s and he has done well there. He is active in the St. Joseph’s Boy Scout troop and participates in dance class.”
