Wilner Story
Ten years ago, Wilner St Fort, was begging for food and change on the
streets of Port au Prince Haiti. He was one of thousands who live day by day in a
unchanging harsh environment. Living in a hell, not of his own choice. He was a
street kid. The neglected abused children of Haiti. One day while sleeping under a
car next to the tires, the unaware driver entered the car and started the engine.
A screeching cry could be heard from blocks away. The vehicle had run over both
Wilner’s legs. The driver speed away. He was alone in pain abandoned by his
parents and left to die on the streets. But that wasn’t the end for Wilner St Fort.
With all the strength and courage he could muster he prayed to God to save him.
He curled himself into a corner and laid in the same position for two days.
Miraculously he walked away to fight another day. He eventually landed in a
orphanage where he was sheltered for the next five years.
Today he runs his own make-shift orphanage located in the upper hill of Port
au Prince. He treks to Belle Fontaine every other day to bring food and clothing to
the five street kids he has taken under his wings. His wish is to build a shelter for
his orphans and to bring more kids from the streets.
Wilner is just starting his orphanage and is looking forward to meeting more
sponsors in the near future through the non-profit organization, LOVE GIVE HOPE.
This group is also producing a documentary based on his life that is set to released
late 2009. He hopes that his story can bring those who are compassionate to his
cause, the Haitian street/Slave children. His hopes, dreams and faith are
captured in this documentary.
