You Would Think They Were Human


Jackson Jean-Baptiste's sisters are pictured here.

Jackson was refused care at OSF-SFMC in Peoria last year. Jackson died in January of this year and is buried in Illinois, close to Peoria.

At Jackson's funeral in January, over one thousand dollars was donated by people in central Illinois that knew Jackson or had heard about his struggles. This money was for his mother that lives with his two sisters in a small cinderblock house in the mountains overlooking Port-au-Prince.

Jackson's mother still cries frequently when she thinks about him and how sick he was last December. She misses him.
