Last year, after the earthquake hit Haiti, they both rushed down to help the survivors. Originally, just my dad was planning on going but I woke up at 6am to find an email that read:
Hey Guys. Your Mother and I are both leaving tomorrow morning 5AM for a medical rescue mission to Haiti for 8 days. There is no cell phone service in Haiti so we won’t be able to communicate. We both love you (all three of you) to pieces and we’re going to miss you. Please pray for us as we pray for you. Love Dad
As you can imagine, I was totally freaking out. Luckily they flew down with a news crew team from Naples and we were able to communicate (barely) via email every few days. The news team filmed 3 segments on what was happening down in Les Cayes, Haiti. My parents said they were bringing people in by the busloads to see them. It was just my mom, my dad, and an orthopaedic surgeon. Talk about insanity!
Here are 2 of the news clips on the devestation down there. My dad is in the golf hat and my mom is in the blue scrubs hat. {Beware: Some gross graphic images.}
If you are an alien and don’t read the news, Haiti still needs a tremendous amount of help. My parents travelled down there with a group based out of Naples called Hope for Haiti. If you are interested in learning more, helping out, or donating, click here. My parents can vouch that all donations are put towards much needed food/supplies in Haiti.
Meagan!
