Rescue Me


So many horrifying images, everyday I'm processing, you've probably noticed I've had a hard time putting the enormity of the event itself into words.

But in the devastation, at least there have been moments of light. I cried tears of joy when I saw video of this perfect little boy, Kiki, beaming as he was rescued by New York Task Force 1, a US search-and-rescue team, along with his 10-year-old sister in Port-au-Prince.

The siblings spent eight days buried under the rubble of their home.
