Haiti Earthquake

“What’s Next For Haiti?”
By: Patricia Smith
What can America do for Haiti? There is a lot that we as Americans can do for Haiti, but all that we keep on giving them over and over again is money. If we are struggling with money here in America, why should we give millions of dollars over to Haiti. Americans should give some money to Haiti, but shouldn’t we give them more than just that? I think that the more we give our money away and all that we give away is money just shows that all we care about here in America is money. What happened to the love and the fact that people over there are starving to death?


Yes, Haiti is a very poor country, but something that they really need is soldiers going over there to help them with rebuilding homes, and giving food to families without any. I think that America should try to contribute to Haiti more than just with money. Haiti is a poor country that has just received a huge amount of money, and now needs more than just money. America needs to help Haiti recover from the loss of food, and other supplies.


The earthquake that came to Haiti was a devastating time for everyone including some American families that lost loved ones that were over there. Haiti has undergone many times of sadness and problems in the past, present, and most likely the future. Haiti is a very poor country, and the other devastating things that they have gone through have made things even worse for them such as other earthquakes, hurricanes, and other national disasters.



I believe that the author of this article was trying to show the severity of the earthquake and how Haiti needs our help. America has always been the country that if a country was in trouble, or even just a single person, we have been there to help. And I believe that we as American's should continue doing this. Also to continue doing this in everyday life. If it is something as small as helping an elderly lady cross the street, or something as big as risking your life for the other person's life. That is the American attitude that this country was first founded on and should continue to be.
