The Only Grateful Hatian

This woman above is a super star not only for being so brave to tell her
story about being in Haiti when the earthquake happened, but for making
it a point to say how grateful she was for all of America's help. I
have noticed that the people saying thank you are spokes persons for
Haiti not the actual residents. In all the CNN and Anderson Cooper
footage this woman is the only person who actually experienced the
earthquake that was Not a public figure who said thank you.

I am not sure if this next info is a plus or a minus but she is from the
US she was visiting family in Haiti when the earthquake hit. I have yet
to see footage of any Haitian that received aid say thank you, mouthed,
or otherwise implied to any of the support staff. Maybe its the
stress? Maybe everyone is thankful but amid devastation they are not
worried about the formalities but still very grateful I don't know. I
will gladly give everyone the benefit of the doubt but it would be nice
to see a few earthquake survivors be visibly thankful in some of the
footage/ coverage of this disaster.

Shout out to the only grateful Hatian! Btw as an American I am glad to
help thanks or no thanks I'm just saying..

P.S

That footage of the reporter being shoved and the man saying that the
High Energy Biscuits were expired because he mistook the manufacture
date for the expiration date ... -_- yeaaa that was hard to watch smh
ppl
Talk to you soon

  1. they've had 2 earthquakes in like a week + MANY family members are dead + they're dying of dehydration + a lot of them are on the verge of crossing over b|c of the injuries...
    let's give them a break. Of course they'd feel lucky to be alive but I don't think they'd feel "grateful" just yet.
