LCS Alum: Théony Deshommes

The earthquake caused hundreds of thousands of injuries, and long lines of people stood outside the Missionaries of Charity Hospital and Orphanage as the Sisters tried to help as many injured as they could. Like most caregivers in Haiti at the time, their resources were running low; they had been getting little sleep and were short on medical help.  Fortunately, from among its 15 graduates in medical school, LCS was able to send Théony Deshommes [LCS ’03]. Théony is far enough advanced in his medical studies to be serving as a doctor and has been working around the clock to save lives and heal the injured all over Port-au-Prince, from the Sisters’ orphanage to Food For The Poor’s medical clinic.
