Hey Flaunt Followers-
For those of you who may not know I am Haitian so since Tuesday I have been dealing with this sad issue and I am directly affected. Not knowing the status on my family that still remains gets tougher & tougher to deal with everyday. What fathoms me the most is Haiti is the poorest, least developed country in the Western Hemisphere, and most Haitians have lived in poverty for years. This means that the government has limited capacity to even offer basic needs, not to mention to aid a disaster of this magnitude. The lack of infrastructure, disaster preparedness and the amount of poverty is what makes this situation hard to approach. Honestly all I can do is pray for the victims, my family and those that are working to help in Haiti.

I'll keep your family in my thoughts. Seeing the images of families makes me want to do as much as possible, for you and your family this is something that isn't going away once the media is no longer paying this attention. Keep us up to date of ways to help in the future, I want to continue to give to Haiti.
ReplyDeleteI will have you and your family in my prayers. I can't even imagine how difficult this is for you---I haven't been able to sleep well and I don't have any family there. May God bless you and the people of Haiti.
