Freed

It is with great trepidation that we awaited the release of a friend, Paul Waggoner, wrongfully imprisoned in Haiti. He was released and is now safe, though we can not know the darkness he has witness, he has not lost his depth of smile and hope.

Last June, I was able to work with Paul (LP) with MMRC, as I went with Threading Hope and Highwire to see BP (big Paul) my friend from Phoenix. the work these men do is amazing and worth nothing but respect, and I hate that it took LP's unfortunate incarceration for the world to view these men for the Hearts that they carry proudly to help those that can not help themselves! LP is big on work with orphanages and those that know me, know that is my focus as well, it was wonderful to see the complete focus on the children!
A favorite photo for me is the truth within his smile here with the children of Haiti, at an orphanage that he works with often...they are trying to steal his shoes :)

and the group!

It is said once you leave it feels like you don't belong in your old life...Haiti, and my time with MMRC crosses my mind often, I am very thankful that Paul was released and he is beginning to heal.
