Hunger ravages the heart of Haiti — the children

	The Lovejoy family is just one family in Haiti facing a hunger crisis.

Edilia Lovejoy, 28, holds her newborn baby in her lap, gazing down at her helplessly. Baby Ediline is only 15 days old and has been born into a home where her siblings struggle each day to find even a mouthful of food to eat. Their house is dilapidated and offers little protection against the elements, but it’s all they have.

“It’s painful to see the children so hungry. Sometimes when they cry, I ask a friend for something to eat. I feel humiliated and I feel bad to ask them to feed my children,” she says softly. “But when you can’t feed them yourself, you are obligated to do what you must. It’s really hard for me.”

Edilia’s sad story is not unique. Battered by decades of crushing poverty, the people of Haiti have endured unimaginable suffering. The devastating earthquake of 2010, a terrifying cholera epidemic and widespread crop loss have all taken a horrible toll on Haitian families. Chronic hunger is forcing countless parents to watch their children slowly starve.

“I’m really afraid because I can’t feed the children and one is really sick. I’m afraid of losing her,” Edilia said.
