In September of 2004, my parents, my twin, a few of my uncles/cousins, and I were in a similar situation on top of the roof of our house. We spent about 8 to 10 hours in the rain. Yesterday, just two days after the South region of my country was hit by a powerful earthquake, these people, already in the streets, were dealing with a tropical storm. Watching this video, hearing my sisters and brothers crying desperately for help gave me chills and put tears to my eyes. I blame our political leaders who have never done a THING for the people. Every election, they made big promises and their citizens never saw the realizations of them. I thought we have learned from the earthquake after what happened to us back in January 2010. It's time for the people of Haiti to elect the right people who will do something for them and who will guarantee a brighter future. We can't continue to live like this because natural disasters won't stop coming. As of right now, a lot of families have been impacted by these last two events. Please them by donating whatever you can. They need clothes, food, water, medical kits, shoes, and money. Find a great organization where your money will go directly to the hands of those in need, God will pay you back! Keep us in your prayers and as a strong and resilient country, Haiti will rise again. We have to because we don't have any other choice. To my fellow Haitians, it's time to come together as one, and let's go build our beautiful country!
