My Dad: The Super Hero!

We were obviously devastated when we heard about the earthquake in Haiti. I think everyone wished they could do something immediatly to help out and make a difference. My dad recently got a new job. He is the Director of the WADE Family Foundation (which is a new foundation, so he is basically starting it). The Foundation is based on service and helping others. On the morning two days after the earthquake, my dad said that the foundation was going to get involved with Haiti and possibly go to Haiti to actually help there. After a crazy week, of things being cancelled, and then going through, Dad left for Haiti the Thursday after the earthquake. He definately had some crazy, dangerous, life-changing, and incredible experiences. Here are just a couple pictures from his trip:


This is a picture of a hospital in Haiti that used to be seven stories (if you can believe that) but was completely pancaked.



This is one of the little baby boys that my dad fell in love with. His name was Fransou.



Isn't she Adorable?




This is the first of two orphanages that my dad went to. When the kids saw my dad, they would all cling to him and say, "Papa?". He would say to them his name was Monty. They would then ask, "Papa Monty?" It makes me want to just give them all a huge hug.
