My Story

Twins Wrapped in HopeWood Wensley and Wood Wensly were born into incredibly difficult circumstances. Their mother, Roseberline, was just eighteen years old and facing extreme poverty, rejection, and homelessness when the twins were born. With no family support and nowhere to turn, their earliest days were shaped by survival rather than safety.

Their story took a hopeful turn when caring neighbors and Haiti ARISE staff learned of their situation. After careful assessment and with their mother’s full consent, the twins were welcomed into the Children’s Village.

Today, Wood Wensley and Wood Wensly are surrounded by love, stability, and belonging as part of the Venel family. Their lives now tell a story of rescue, restoration, and hope—proof that when a community steps in, everything can change.
