Lodi Big Kmart Manager Clovis Baptiste talks about his journey to Haiti to find his family

When he landed in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Clovis Baptiste was aware there was a small possibility some of his family members could be waiting for him. But it wasn't until he lifted his mother off the ground and held her tight that he experienced the joy that comes with confirming that loved ones are alive and well.

The ever-present stench of rotting flesh that filled his nostrils and lungs as he embraced them, though, served as a reminder that not everyone had such a reunion.

I have heard that said in the news, that little money or donations are reaching Haiti. I wonder why? What is the problem between the money being donated and it actually getting to Haiti? I am very thankful to read that this man's family is doing ok, and I sure hope that his family can start a better life here in America. You know, we Americans are so blessed. I am thankful to live in the greatest country on earth.
