In Honor of the Anniversary of the Haiti Earthquake

Today marks the eight year anniversary of the tragic earthquake. Casualty reports varied widely ranging anywhere from 45,000 to over 300,000. The scope of that amount of devastation is almost impossible for us to imagine.

I spent 12 days there after the Earthquake on a Search and Rescue mission. To this day, I am still affected by it.

I would like to say a very special "Fuck You Trump" on behalf of the people of Haiti.

To commemorate the date, I would like to offer this video that was made by my team.





I would like to add that I am a strong supporter of Doctors without Borders because of the work I witnessed there. If you are moved to remember the Earthquake, I recommend them strongly.

It is an easy donation process to help out online.
Thank you for your work in Haiti also. and thank you for the video. It's something we do not always see collected together, all the different stages captured. Its still sad to think about this earthquake many years later
