MEJEANNE

 Mejeanne is a five-year-old girl who was taken to a voodoo doctor for treatment of a high fever.  He doused her with some kind of solution, which included alcohol, to bring the fever down.  Later that night, she fell in an open fire pit burning her upper torso, including her face, arm, leg, and chest.  She came to America in the summer of 1997.  She had a vivacious personality and loved watching movies from the Video Store.  She is very smart and extremely brave.  The plastic surgery on her face was done in stages, so she stayed with us for nine months in 1997 and 1998.  We have had no contact with her since her return to Haiti.
