There are a lot of immigrants from Haiti in New York, in our boroughs Brooklyn, Jamaica and Queens! There are more than 125,000 New Yorkers of Haitian descent. Most of them are claiming a missing relative or friend after this tragedy. Some people travel to Haiti to visit family and now they are missing. This earthquake was devastating for everyone, hospitals, schools, houses collapse. Tons and tons of people are under these buildings. If we all can just unite in a special prayer for these people, their families, their brothers, sisters, mothers. Let us pray for them. Also here are a ways that you can donate, money, clothes or food.
