I was watching the reports on the tv re the concert in New York for the victims of Hurricane Sandie. It is heartening to see so much money raised in such a short space of time. The report listed all the northern states affected but did not mention Haiti.
Haiti was hit at the start of the path of destruction that went acrossthe eastern coast of the US. I really hope that some of the funding will go to this poor island, who has been battered to buggery(excuse the language) over the last few years. this poor country is continually hit by hurricanes, then flooding, which brought on cholera, then earthquakes, such as the one in Jauuary 2010 (which killed approximately 220,000), and now Sandie. This country, poor in itself, cannot seem to get back on its feet and many thousands of people are dying.
It is my hope that a section of the funds raised, currently sitting (on Thu, 13th Dec) at around $32 million, will be set aside for this tiny country so that it can get the care it desperately needs.
I also hope that there are sufficient funds to rehouse those in the US who lost everything. My heart goes out to those in the US and in Haiti.
