The stories about Haiti that break his heart

DENVER - Six months after a series of earthquakes devastated Haiti, Rich Harris is appalled by what he's seen.

"It's really shocking. There are, by some estimates, close to a million orphans in Haiti. It's worse today
than perhaps it's ever been. It's up to the people in 
this country to get something done...

The Road to Hope visits Haiti 6 Months after Quake
October 11th in the Streets of Port-au-Prince

Returning to Haiti today, I was filled with pessimism.  When there in June, I was literally sickened by the lack of progress I saw more than six months since the Quake.  I expected to see more of the same - city streets clogged by rubble, mountains of trash, and the unforgettable and shameful spectacle of thousands upon thousands of tents covering the hillsides in and around the Capitol. >>READ MORE
 

Curing a Country, One Soccer Ball At A Time

Once upon a time, someone said: "Love is like an earthquake- unpredictable, a little scary, but when the hard part is over you realize how lucky you truly are." On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 earthquake shook the land of Haiti, a small country located in the Caribbean. CNN News believes nearly 100,000 people died in the devastating quake. Immediately, countries all over the world lent a hand to this country in need of food, shelter, water, and most importantly their families. Many nations put forth rescue missions and recovery squads.

This is the story, not of two countries, but of two American children who are aiding Haiti in their own special way. >>READ MORE
 

The Harris family had the opportunity to
thank Governor Bill Ritter for his great
efforts on behalf of the orphans in Haiti.
We truly appreciate all that the Governor
and his administration accomplished for
the kids!
 

The Road to Hope has immediately shifted efforts to provide emergency relief supplies in response to the devastation in and around Port au Prince.  The victims of yesterdays earthquake are in immediate need of clean water, medicines and food supplies.  We are accepting cash donations and will make sure the money is used to get these much needed supplies to the people of Haiti.  We will continue to update our site with any and all information we have about the victims and the relief efforts. 

Thank you for helping the people of Haiti during this tragic time!

Update on the needs in Haiti post-Jan 12th:

According to a study by the Inter-American Development Bank:
 
•  At 200,000-250,000 people killed, this disaster claimed more lives as a percentage of a country’s population of any recorded disaster than any other;
At up to $13.2 billion in estimated damages, it may be the most destructive disaster that a single country has ever experienced;
• 10 years after the disaster, it is estimated that Haiti’s economic output is likely to be 30% lower than it otherwise would have been.
