Haiti

A Devastating Tragedy to all of us around the world








A Wealthy Utah entrepreneur Jeremy Johnson is in Haiti working on relief efforts. He has several helicopters and a plane he's using to take food into the country. "A baby died yesterday," Johnson told KSL News, choking back tears. "There's nothing wrong with the orphanages. All the kids are not hurt, and it didn't fall down, and this baby died of starvation. I missed it by one day. Johnson said there's a huge backup of food at the base not getting to the starving people. He volunteered to fly some of it in, but after he was denied he resorted to taking it and giving it to the people himself. "People are starving. There's food sitting here. If I had another option for food I would use it, but I don't," Johnson said. His focus right now is trying to transport 130 orphans to Utah. This was on the news last night. Jeremy and my uncle Kurt Tanner flew down last Sunday with some others to do all they can in a week to help these people. Last i heard they were working in an orphanage, were like the news has said many children are starving to death. It broke my heart so bad after hearing this store on the news. While looking at zayda and to thing there are babies as little as her, just so hungry with no understanding why they are not getting food. I can not even imagine the feeling of not eating for days and days and to sit here being able to do nothing just able to watch there pain of loved ones gone, no shelter, no food, and wondering where to turn now. It makes me wonder why I was i placed here? shelter, clean water, clothes, food, all the resources people dream about in other countries. I only wish i was able to be there to hold and comfort these little kids who have no parents no food no water and no hope. How helpless do i feel. Last night i was laying in bed thinking several things. Do i want to bring another child to this world when there are millions and millions who are not cared for. I was also thinking i hope in the future we will be so wealthy. I never cared to be wealthy, but i do now. I will be a wealthy person like Jeremy Johnson He bought a house in Dominican Republic for him and my uncle and some others to stay while down there. He went and bought a helicopter so they can land in the middle of Haiti if needed and as you see he started buying food for the starving children in the Orphanages. My uncle had mentioned one year around Christmas. Jeremy got his friends together and gave them stacks of one hundred dollar bills to distribute out among the people who were shopping at DI. This is who i want to be like, this is what would make me happy not a boat, not houses all around the world, not luxury cars. It would take going all around the world helping people in need.
