Earthquake in Haiti

Jean@ActiveAutowerke · 01-13-2010, 11:31 PM

Hey Guys,

I'm sure most of you have seen the news.

I am from Haiti and moved here at ~12 and haven't been back since 06.

Most of my family is in Haiti. If its not too much please share the link below as much as you can. Even if only a little, thats what i can do to help those that are there.

Still no news from my family...

Hope you hear something soon. It would be interesting to hear you opinion on if you think the media should be given some finite period of time there before they are proctored to leave. It isn't likely a reduction on the already limited resources by their presence there. I understand an initial effort of raising awareness is important, but it should also be done from afar where possible.

PS, I gave 40 yesterday to the Redcross.
Others please help with $ where possible.

Honestly the Media is only interested in what sells, to an extent i understand where you are coming from. People should/need to know whats going on, but its also like a gold mine for them. So it goes hand in hand...

Haiti is truly a beautiful place but has been on the decline for many years. At one time Haiti was the "Pearl of the Caribbean", you could leave your front door wide open anywhere on the island with no worries.

But those stories don't sell. Haitians are strong people but haven't made the best choices as of late. We will bounce back but who knows when and how long it will take.

Right now i am only interested in everyone's well being, the other stuff comes after. Houses, buildings and things can be rebuilt/re bought, once a life is gone it is gone for good...

Thanks again. I truly appreciate it.

couple of options

Text "Haiti" to 90999 to donate. 100% of your $10 donation passes thru to @RedCross for Haiti relief. Your cell carrier keeps nothing.

^^ Done! God bless them.

NoKids · 01-14-2010, 05:16 PM

donate to:
red cross
care
doctors without borders
unicef
.............
i just found out my parents are ok, it was a tough 48 hours to wait for that phone call. my first concern is for the unknown number of people buried beneath the THOUSANDS of buildings that have crumbled. second concern is feeding and providing water. then providing shelter. medicine. cleanup. reconstruction. it's sad to see my home country FUBAR.

Best of luck to all in Haiti. Hope your family is alright, Jean.

Andrew@ET · 01-14-2010, 09:22 PM

I have friends that are still lost in Haiti at this very moment.. I was a lynn university student. I graduated Dec of 08. They just found out that they got some bad information and a friend of mine that was supposedly found is infact still missing...

This is absolutely terrible... Please keep all those still trapped in the rubble in your prayers. You and your family will be in my prayers Jean..

Jean@ActiveAutowerke · 01-15-2010, 12:55 PM

Thanks guys.

Got news that my father and a cousin are alive but that's it, no idea on condition, etc...

Still waiting on news from Grandparents and other family.

At least there is hope.
