What about them?
January 22, 2010I know everyone has seen what’s going on with Haiti. The horrible eathquake that struck at a magnitude of 7.0 on such a small island east of Dominican Republic. They have raised millions of dollars to help Haiti, and tonight there is a “Hope for Haiti” broadcasting live on MTV, VH1, NGC, etc. at 8pm. In Miami/Homestead alone, there are 45,000 Haitens… Some are bruttally injured.
These are helpless people trying to cope with a situation so sudden. Imagine living on a small island, & you’re with friends, family, & loved ones… Suddenlyeverything shakes and rumbles. When you look up, you see devestation… tears… blood… a crisis in the blink of an eye. That’s exactly what happened to these people of Haiti. 140,000 people already dead. Out of these 140,000 people…. None will get a personal grave. All will be burried in mass graves.
It’s sad to say that none just a pool pf blood was shed, but an ongoing river of blood was shed. Many will never be identified… Many were just children….infants…Parents… they were people like you and I. They were innocent people who already had it bad because Haiti is Haiti… They don’t have what we have… They don’t get to do what we do.
Why should they die or go through such a disaster?
“Workers are carving out mass graves on a hillside north of Haiti’s capital, using earth-movers to bury 10,000 earthquake victims in a single day while relief workers warn the death toll could increase.” CBS NEWS (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/01/21/world/main6122881.shtml)
But even in the deapths of their situation… The people of Haiti are still being faithful that brighter days are yet to come and they still praise and pray to God… because he is the only one who will get them out of there.
The next time you feel you have it hard, you should try to remember what the people of Haiti are still going through almost 2 weeks after the earthquake. Help Haiti, donate food, money, or medical supplies to your local news station. These people need it more than we do.
