Seeker Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I met Duncan Dee once. He actually sat in my jumpseat on the short flight from YUL to YOW. We obviously didn't have much time to talk as we were busy preparing for the flight when he showed up and too busy along the way for anything more than a few cursory words. My overall impression of him was fairly neutral but, clearly, I didn't get to see the "real" Duncan Dee. http://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/haiti-disabled-orphan-charity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 The Dee family are an inspiration! My guess is he must be sorely missed at AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QFE Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 25% of under 18 are orphans. 740 orphanages. I don't think hurricanes are their biggest problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say Again, Over! Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Wow! Great story! I must admit to getting REALLY teary eyed reading through the story of their mission. We've been a foster family for 14 years and while most kids have stayed with us permanently, we've had to return a few to their family. You can't stay detached; kids deserve to have someone love them enough to cry when they leave. We force ourselves to rejoice that they are now in a (fixed up) family and that it's not only natural but right. There are still tears though... Good on the Dee's for experiencing Love with an intensity not everybody gets. Good job getting Carl care he certainly would not have had on the island. They done good! Bon travay, zanmi!

Seeker Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 I've always had a great respect for anyone who's been willing to take on a foster child. When I think of the stresses and trying times in raising my own biological children I don't even know how's it's possible to take on the responsibility of providing a caring environment for some kid from a broken home. To willingly accept, or volunteer, to take a child from a bad situation with a severe medical condition is almost beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
