We are saddened, and heartsick, at the images crossing the TV screens. Children, mothers, and fathers are suffering, beyond anything we could possibly imagine in our very safe, very cozy lives. We can help.
And people ARE helping. The reactions of so many individuals, companies, organizations, and countries are quickly mobilizing to help the very poorest nation in the western hemisphere. While I am shaken by the devastation, I am immensely heartened by the response. We CAN take care of each other.
Feel the same as you. I spent a summer in Haiti when I was 13. The poorest country with the most cheerful singing people around!
