Being Haitian proved to be an awkward proposition this past month. One minute we were screaming with joy about Team Haiti representing us for the Olympics, the next we were in tears over the devastation wrought by back-to-back killer storms in Haiti. Four storms in three weeks have killed more than 600 people. Gonaives, Haiti's third largest town, was devastated. Flood waters reached the ceilings of homes, forcing thousands to flee to their rooftops, where they were stranded for days. The streets are lined with thousands of people struggling through muddy, waist-high water, trying to find higher ground. The NYHMI put together a fundraising benefit to raise money for our country Haiti. NYHMI put together with the red cross and Unicef and all the proceeds and clothes and canned food collected were organized and sent to haiti the following day.
