I don't even know how many times mother went to Haiti. And Petit-Goâve was her usual destination. Hurricane Matthew took out a major bridge connecting Petit-Goâve with the rest of the country. Now rescue and relief efforts are limited at best.
Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Haiti.
The 2010 earthquake destroyed over 90,000 lives.
The ensuing cholera outbreak killed another 10,000.
Now I expect we'll see more casualties as the waters recede. Right now they are saying there are ~330 known dead.
I had the privilege of going to Haiti in February after the earthquake in 2010. That makes these images that much more real to me as I think about those precious people.
May they heal well and quickly.
Your mom would be among the first to go if she was able.
