'Do You Want To Pay Now?': How A Hospital Hounded A Sick Patient
On Wednesday night (Jan. 20), Big Kenny was "riding the winding roads of [the] Dominican Republic with 10 doctors and our crew," headed toward the town of Jimaní, on the border of Haiti, where a hospital and triage has been set up to treat victims of the Jan. 12 earthquake and the devastating aftershocks.Describing "heart-sinking" conditions and casualties, Kenny has been updating his blog, saying his spirits have also been uplifted by the show of love and support for quake-ravaged Haiti.
"The outpouring of aid from around the world that I am witnessing is none short of amazing," he writes. "Many on our same flight. Many on this bus with me. Love is flowing.That is good. I heard a French girl was pulled from the Montana Hotel wreckage today alive. Still 7 search and rescue teams working there."
In spite of the situation, Kenny, who said he hoped to arrive in Port Au Prince on Thursday, writes: "I remain faithful. What a reminder to let the daily small stuff fly out the window and really live our dreams!
"Fuel supplies are low ... after another quake today, Haiti will need all the help it can get for a long time. I guess one of the best ways we can all help is spread the word."
And even amidst anguish and sorrow for those who have died, and those who have yet to be rescued, Big Kenny clings yet to a flickering flame of hope at his very core ... that love and the human spirit will triumph in the end.
"I'm excited to think the music industry will step up and raise a great voice for our hurting neighbors so near to our south," he writes. "Another great education in life this is. 'Tomorrow, I might have to go and fly away.'
"Keeping it positive and running fast as I can to find my friend! Everybody help, however small or big. I would hope someone would come if it were my town. When I see how people can care so much in the trying times, I believe even more in the obtainability of PEACE."
