Dear AMH Family,
It is with a heavy heart I will write this next update. I am asking for prayers for Dr. Kitty Humphries and her family. Her beloved husband "Jamie" passed away last month while I was in Haiti. Dr. Kitty and Jamie have been long time supporters of AMH and the children we bring to the Roanoke Valley. She has helped us so much over the years with so many projects I can not even begin to list them all. Now she needs our prayers.
I am posting a photo of Dr. Kitty and Jamie 8 years ago at their wedding. His Memorial will also be posted. We all want to thank everyone who has donated in Memory of Jamie Humphries.
Thank you all my love V
James (Jamie) M. Humphreys, 38, Bedford
James (Jamie) McCracken Humphreys, age 38, of Bedford, departed this life on April 23, 2010. Jamie was the loving husband of Kathryn Luth Humphreys, MD, and the devoted stepfather of Matthew, Elena, Nick, and Mariah (Ches) Bono.
He was preceded in death by his beloved nephews, Lloyd Davis Jiang and Miles Weston Jiang.
He is survived by his mother, Nancy Lloyd Fisher Humphreys, of Kansas City, MO; and his father and stepmother, Richard and Margaret Humphreys, of Leesburg, VA; his sister Kristin Elizabeth Humphreys, MD, and her husband, Shao Jiang, MD, and his darling nephew Andrew Kai Jiang of Kansas City, MO; his beloved grandparents Phyllis and James Humphreys of Derry, PA; his mother-in -law Kathleen Luth Adams and husband Budd Adams; his aunt and uncle Euniann and John Grove, as well as his cousins, sisters- and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.
Jamie was born in Munich, Germany. He was a lifelong athlete, excelling at hiking, soccer, tennis, skiing, and water sports. He enjoyed adopting companion animals and was an accomplished amateur astronomer and photographer. Jamie was a graduate of Handley High School in Winchester, and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Saint Andrews College in North Carolina. After mentoring many children as a teacher and athletic director at James River Day School and Bedford Elementary School, and as a soccer coach of the Liberty High School Minutemen and Peaks Area Soccer Association, he went on to work as an Airways Systems Engineer for the Federal Aviation Administration in Leesburg.

I met this happy family on my last trip to Haiti. The mom was so proud of her beautiful, healthy girls. She asked me for a picture and I was happy to oblige!

One Small Hand at a Time...
Angel Missions Haiti strives to arrange donated medical care for the sickest children in Haiti who are unable to be cared for in their home country. Many of these children have life-threatening conditions that will shorten or severely limit their lives if not repaired. We work with many physicans, hospitals and families across the United States who volunteer their time and energy to provide nurturing care to make the time away from their families less traumatic. Each and every child is unique and precious to us and it is important that we strive to provide the quality care while they are in our program. We take great care to match children with the best host family available and carefully monitor their progress as they begin their medical procedures. It is our goal to help all of these children return to their Haitian families healthy and ready to live healthy lives. To make this mission successful and to help as many children as possible, we need your help!
Our Inspiration and Our Strength...
So Many Children...
Children are referred to us on a weekly basis from orphanages, feeding programs schools and desperate families. We see many little ones with cleft lip & palate, tumors, hydrocephaly, heart conditions, orthopedic issues, and trauma. To date, over 30 children have come to the United States for medical care and we have a waiting list of children needing to come. We partner with many caring medical professionals and host families across the country to provide the best care possible for these children while they are in the US. In order to get the medical visas, Angel Missions must arrange for testing in Haiti, donated medical care and a host family in the United States. We work hard to bring the children to the US as quickly as possible and to return them to their families as soon as they are able to travel. Some children need to make multiple trips here in order to address their health problems completely and Angel Missions does our best to make this happen. We know we cannot possibly help all the needy children in Haiti, but we are commited to help as many of the little ones who come to us as possible.
