I was wondering about that—couldn’t remember whether Haiti got the early or the late part of hurricane season. Actually, they probably get both.

There is definitely an urgency to relocate the hundreds of thousands who are homeless.

I hope your wife’s family can get to a safe place. How about here in the U.S.? Any chance of that?

Most of my wife's family members there are American citizens who had either retired to Haiti (the older) or had returned there to start businesses (younger). The rest are Canadaian citizens. They all lost everything. They all have immediate family in NY, Miami the DR and/or Montreal. They will land somewhere but they are pretty much broke.

In spite of what some neanderthals here want to believe, there was a growing middle class in Haiti that was raised and educated here, in Canada or in Europe. They were in Haiti trying to make something good happen for the country where their parents were born.
