More From TiGeorges' Meeting
Went to TiGeorges' last night. Shock. Unity. Action. Support.
200 people. Six television vans. A vase being filled with cash and checks for Yele Haiti. Organizers talking about their newly founded org, Californians for Haiti.
People asking after each other's families.
Members of the Diaspora sharing rumors. Others batting those rumors down. One man telling how a family member's house had survived the 7.0, and then fallen, not even during an aftershock. Another man saying the same thing, about a wall. People saying phone service barely extent. A man able to get in touch via Facebook and Twitter and email.
An organizer, saying he'd been in Haiti, at the Montana, just four days ago.
The restaurant announced as drop-off location for medical supplies and any other donations.
