Haiti, Then and Now

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 by Wesley Duke Sapp

When I was young my Dad and Mom took me to Haiti.  I learned that this is a beautiful land and these are beautiful people like you and me.  But you could stand in one spot and look in one direction and see beautiful palm trees, beaches, boats and oceans then turn your had a there was poverty, human waste in the streets, shantytowns and ugliness. 

This country was a beautiful land back then with fishing just like ours.  Granted it was different than Muskie Fishing Indiana, Bass Fishing Indiana, Crappie Fishing Indiana, Vacation Rentals Indiana but they love things like fishing, boats, water and goodness just like you and I do.  They love their babies, their families their friends and even their shacks too.

Now Haiti's been hurt by the terrible tragedy of the earthquake.  Now the ugliness has spread and brought with it more pain and suffering.  They were finding happiness where they could then like you and me but now what little they had has been rocked.  Right now these people need our help, not later, now!

If you know Epworth Forest, if you understand fishing, if you love your family, friends and acquaintances, then your spirit knows it's time to help them now.  If you don't know the spirit of Take It Easy Cabin and our area, but you know compassion, then you know what I'm writing about.

Anyone who comes to our Cabin for spiritual healing, or fishing or whatever, we'll give what we can in your honor to Haiti relief.  We'll donate 25% of whatever we get from rentals to Haiti from now 'til the end of FEB 2009.  If you want a receipt, we'll give you one.  We're doing the best we can and hope you are too.  "Lighten up while you still can...take it easy."

Sincerely,

Duke & Roxanne, 317-625-2782

PS We are so blessed, and if you're reading this so are you, we have been touched and are trying to help, so let's take the time make a difference for those in so much pain. WDS
