Discovering the Miracle of Family in the Garbage

Updated On: October 16, 2026

Jimmy Amisial's life was changed forever. In 2017, he was home in Haiti visiting from the U.S. where he was studying. On New Year's Eve, Jimmy discovered a crowd making a commotion. There was a naked baby, screaming, in a pile of garbage. The people gathered around thought the child was cursed so they wouldn't touch him. The baby was in distress, covered in fire ants. Jimmy saw a precious living soul, and he knew he had to save the baby. Soon, Jimmy was asked to become the permanent caregiver for the baby, the most-difficult decision Jimmy ever had to make. Jimmy shares what happens next in this episode.
