A miracle in the midst of the tragedy on Haiti

Post by linne »

An American rescue team has dug a Dane out after he has been in the collapsed UN building for 5 days without food and water. He was alive and without injuries. A miracle.

We have just seen his happy father and mother on TV, and I got tears in my eyes seeing them. So we have to say thank you to the brave people, who help on Haiti and work so hard.

That is a wonderful tale of survival--hoping to hear more of them.

Great news. Like Loria, I hope for more stories like this one.

IMO, it has taken far too long for aid to reach these suffering people.

I can't imagine what those rescue crews are going through, but what a great story that people are still being found alive.

Oh, that's wonderful! I pray that there are many more! I heard of a child rescued from the collapsed market that had survived on fruit roll ups! I wish I could go to help.

There are a whole lot of bad stories in Haiti and it takes funds to make the good stories happen. I hope that people will continue to contribute generously. Even after the story starts to fade from the headlines.

Thank you Linne for the post. I am sorry the thread turned out the way it did.

After this comment is where it went off the rails - yes I deleted everything after this.
