A college student who found an abandoned baby in a dumpster in Haiti took the infant into his care without hesitation, becoming his legal guardian as the authorities tried to make sense of the tragedy. Five years on, he has filed for adoption with the support of thousands of donors.
Jimmy Amisial, 27, from Haiti, is a student living in the United States. Visiting his mother in the city of Gonaives on New Year’s Eve 2017, his life took an unexpected turn when he approached a crowd of people gathered around a dumpster. Among the trash was a 4-month-old baby, and people thought the forsaken child was cursed.
