Farewell, and see you soon. The journey is not over.

My heart is filled with sadness and I wonder why. I'm leaving here, leaving Port au Prince, Haiti. This is a place I have fallen in love with. Love for the people. Love for the passion and the pure fight for life. Love for the determination to continue to find pride and dignity in these terrible condition. It is inspiring here, in a way that is beyond words.

We truly have to do something that will begin to bring the basic necessities for life to these beautiful people. The children are ill, the systems are down, the rainy season is beginning. When the rainy season and then the hurricane season start, and the skies open up, health standards will be harder to maintain, disease and infection could spread more rampantly with the increased vulnerability of people’s bodies in those conditions, all of which could lead to more fatalities. “The prospect of bad weather has aid workers and homeless people scared,” reports The Guardian.

There must been basic needs meet so healing can happen. There is still hunger, sadness and anger.

Thank you Haiti for opening my heart and being kind and passionate.
Thank you Marc Baptiste for protecting me and being my angel. But the rainy season is coming! Please God help them, if families do not get homes they need to be brought to places to stay protected and safe.

Donna Karan is truly committed to continuing the Tent Campaign.
