Living in the Median


Frank Thorpe helped me edit the video
Micheline Fleuron lives with her two boys in the median in Carrefour. Her home, the pile of rubble across the street from where she is now, collapsed during the earthquake and killed her seven year old daughter. Before the earthquake Micheline had a small business selling food items -she lost that in the earthquake. She says food aid has been distributed near where she is but she has not been able to get any of it. She says hunger is difficult and "dust from the street is eating us".

I don't know how to articulate my response. Your filming is a very powerful medium for sharing the heartbreaking reality of the people you filmed. It hurts to watch it, which is good for me, and it makes me feel helpless because I don't know how to help. Thank you for sharing it with me. Love, MED

In this short clip you've shown us so much of what it is like for people like Micheline post-quake. It's a life that is almost impossible for us fat and happy Americans to imagine.
