Estange's family and friends call her “Madam Chany”, a nickname that she received from her friends in the village of Anse-d'Ainault. Estange is married, and was blessed with 11 children; 6 of whom are alive today. Her favorite way to occupy her time is to pray and listen to the radio broadcasts of Gospel programs since she can no longer see very well. She remembers sitting with friends as a child at night telling fairy tales and watching the stars. Her favorite Haitian dishes are plantains, sweet potatoes, goat, beef, fish and vegetables.

ABOUT THE GRACE HOUSE

The Grace House is one of the few assisted living facilities in Haiti, built to address the dire need for elderly care. The elderly are the most vulnerable and most neglected people in Haiti. Our Grace House residents receive medical, spiritual, and daily assisted living care. The facilities include living quarters, a cafeteria, a common area, and a medical exam room.

As a sponsor, you can write letters and even visit your resident on your next trip to Haiti.

On any given day, you'll find our covered patio filled with dominoes and card games, while the smell of rice and beans wafts out from the kitchen.

Laughter is consistent and contagious as visitors stop by to sing songs, dance, or just sit to talk.
