HAITI, February 22, 2011
Three brothers of the same family, originating in Central Hinche, living in the camp of the victims of Canaan, after the earthquake, have just been murdered on Route Frere, in the direction of Petionville. After leaving the Bank, the bandits opened fire on them for some money. Some good Samaritans took them to the morgue of the General Hospital of Port-au-Prince ... After more than a week, the bodies, still lying on the floor cement, may be thrown in the garbage ... like dogs rotting. The Branch can not indefinitely keep the corpses. That's understandable!
The youngest brother, Dieugrand WARRIOR, 30, himself stricken father of two children, always in search of money to find a solution to this problem, can not sell a small plot of said "public interest" that one of them had recovered from the desolate savanna of Canaan. Nobody has money to pay. So this morning he knocked on the door of the Franciscan Lilavois, hoping to be heard ... A dozen other people, sick, hungry and in need, had preceded him ... and all waiting at the door. What to do? The needs are enormous: in the immediate three coffins are required, mortuary fees, clothing, transportation of dead bodies, funeral celebrations, etc.. Besides the 3 fathers died leaving 14 children orphaned (Harold, 59, 8 children; Herold, 44, 2 children, Jimmy, 38, 4 children). And this is one case.
Through your support, may God help us. We will do what we can. God will do the rest: "The bodies of the dead alive before the Lord" is the hope of all those who believe in Him.
