THE MAD MAN
THE MAD MAN
Richardson - January 2013I met Richardson during one of my yearly trips to Haiti, back in January 2013, a meeting that left an indelible mark on my soul.
Richardson's story is not unique in Haiti, a country plagued by political corruption, and economic instability. Kids especially young boys find themselves navigating the streets of Port-au-Prince, fighting for survival every day. He informed me that his mother lost her life in the devastating earthquake of 2010, leaving him orphaned, He never knew his father.
During our conversation I asked him how he survived, - Richardson's with a fierce look, through his eyes, you could tell he had seen enough to be conscious of his being at this age. How do you survive I asked him. "I must fight to survive," he replied. "Where do you sleep?" - Richardson, "Sometimes I have to pay 50 gourdes if I want to sleep at the market, if I didn't make enough money that day, I sleep in the cemetery or anywhere I can find.
April 04, 2024 - 10 years later, gangs tightened their grip on the country, seizing control of both private and public institutions. Looking at a collage in my bedroom on the far right side there’s a photograph of Richardson. I wonder where Richardson is, what has become of his life?
In sharing Richardson's story, I hope to shed light on the struggles faced by Haiti's youth and inspire others to take action. Together, we can create a future where every child has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances
This blog post is dedicated to Richardson and all the children of Haiti who deserve a chance at a better life.
