This article struck me because it focuses on the Haitian families in and around Boston and their stuggles to support Haiti while trying to make ends meet here. It is inspiring to know the Haitian families who don't make a good living here are still giving out whatever they can to support their native land. According to the Boston Globe, "Still, immigrants and others are digging into their savings and wiring what they can to Haiti from money-transfer kiosks set up in bakeries, minimarts, and storefronts across Massachusetts". It is eye opening to know these people live below the poverty line yet are sending money each week to help their relatives and friends survive from the devasting earth quake.
