After finding an abandoned baby in the trash, this Texas student chose fatherhood
Jimmy Amisial / Courtesy of Jimmy AmisialTexas-based college student Jimmy Amisial was walking to a New Years Eve party in 2017 while visiting family in Haiti when he noticed a crowd of people gathered around a pile of trash. What he saw when he approached the onlookers crushed him: a crying 3-month-old boy, covered in ants and lying on top of the garbage.
“I would like for me to be able to show him love and be financially stable, finish school and be able to take care of him and show him how to be great, show him love, how to be kind to people,” said Amisial., Amisial has raised nearly all of his $60,000 goal to pay the Haitian government for the costly adoption. The process began in 2019 and Amisial is hopeful that by next year, he’ll officially be Emilio’s father.
“He’s so fun to be around,” said Amisial, now 27. “I really miss him and I can’t wait to see him. Whenever I get the chance to go back, I will.” The deteriorating situation in Haiti worries Amisial about his family’s safety and makes him wonder if his dream of opening up his own orphanage in Haiti will come true.
