Wyclef Jean Treats Haitian Amputees To Shopping Spree!!(Photo)

by Simply Veronica D.


Wyclef Jean made a positive move this weekend, treating three survivors of the Haiti earthquake to a shopping spree.
The three recipients selected by Clef and his Yele Haiti foundation are young ladies who lost limbs during the tragedy.
The organization worked alongside the Global Medical Relief Fund to fly the ladies and their families to New York where Wyclef took them to a local K-Mart for a shopping spree.
Speaking to the media about his plan to smiles on the amputees’ faces, Clef said,
“When you come from a country where you make $1 a day, giving them $1,000 is like giving them $10,000…they need to know there are people like them and they’re normal. Today they’re not thinking, ‘I don’t have a leg.’ They’re just being kids and they’re happy.”

The three recipients of the shopping spree were 17-year-old Margarette Pierre who lost her arm, 17-year-old Chantal Mori who lost her arm as well, and 8-year-old Sarah Maurice who lost her leg above the knee.
The ladies will be flown to Philadelphia in June where they’ll receive free treatment for their prosthetic limbs.

Wyclef is an angel and does the most he can do to angelic things for those in need…many blessings to him #HelpHaiti

Haiti:Wyclef’s Emotional Video Towards "YELE" Rumors and Accusations!!

by Simply Veronica D.


Wyclef Jean gives an update and breaks down during his speech about the Haiti crisis and is asking for everyone’s help to build a tent city to move victims outside of Port-Au-Prince. Its sad that while he is under the pressure of having to save Haiti he is now being rumored to use Haiti’s funds for his own personal use but although we are not sure of this, you can see the pain and the tears he held in before breaking down. We have to remember he was the first Haitian celebrity to come to help and be hands on with Haiti with his wife beside him picking up dead bodies while other Haitian Celebrities heard or watched without lending a helping hand and joining him in Haiti! I respect him for that because many celebrities wouldn’t. I hope that the rumors are untrue and if they come out to be untrue many people will be owing him an apology! Bringing the one haitian man with funds down at this time knowing he has family over there and is doing the best he can to help is obviously hurtful to him. But what he is calling out for makes sense, the victims left alive need to be moved from Port-au-Prince before they can really clean up the areas damaged.
