From USAToday.com:

Six months after a devastating earthquake flattened Haiti’s capital city, little has changed for Ernst Leo and his 7-year-old daughter, Therissa.

Every night, they crawl into a cramped tent barely big enough to hold a mattress and their few belongings.

For six months, they have lived on the street in a once-thriving middle-class neighborhood. Every day, they hustle for basic necessities. Their bathroom is in the home of a neighbor whose house is still standing, their evening light comes from Leo’s cellphone and their meals from other families who live in nearby tents.

    i agree and nothing has been done.
    so where did the money, food, and help go?
    well that goes to show you take care of home first before you try to take of someone else is home.
    And as far as that goes what the guy in the tent he has no home nowhere to go but he has a cellphone.
    come on give us a break.
    how is he paying for it?
    all of it is a bunch of bull.
    most of thoes people have been living like that all there lives and some are just getting by.
    well i feel sorry for the ones that have to live like that but there are some over there that are doing pretty good without help from anyone.
    if you are a part of the system there like the police for a example you are doing great.
    well i for one “want my money back” there are people here that can use it.
    USA you got screw again sticking your nose in someone else business again.
    that’s why they are always in a war.
    what there are no hungry and homeless in USA?
    i know here they are but we take care of our own first.
