The January 12, 2010 earthquake has destroyed Haiti and put the country on its knees. According to Haitian Government estimates there were over 250,000 deaths, 1.3 Million without a home and over 435,000 internally displaced. Haiti is now more devastated than ever. The country is unable to stand up on her own and regain the strength to move forward with all her children. Thanks to your generous support to the Haitian Coalition of Philadelphia, we have sent a medical team the next day to Haiti. This medical team was coordinated by Dr. Thierry Momplaisir. See their report below. CAUTION... CAUTION Some pictures are very graphic and viewers discretion is advised. We don't have any other way to bring you the truth as we see it and as we have lived it. This is the saddest moment in Haiti's history. Please contact a member of the Haiti Rescue Fund of Philadelphia to see how you can bring your support to this just cause or send us and e-mail. Thank you for your generosity and expressed solidarity in this difficult moment. Haiti Rescue Fund of Philadelphia
