search Valpo Haitian Relief Fund Tops $45,000
' A teenage boy found living under a bridge in the Dominican Republic was recently reunited with his mother, who thought he died in the devastating earthquake in Haiti three months ago. Kristian Pruitt, marketing and communications director for Kids Alive International, said the boy was one of three boys between the ages of 14 and 16 who were found and brought to the Kids Alive campus in the Dominican Republic. Kids Alive provided food, medical care and clothing for all three until the government reunited one of the boys with his mother, who thought him dead in the rubble.............."They will keep trickling in (to Kids Alive facilities in the Dominican Republic) because there's not a lot for them in Haiti. So, they can come to the Dominican Republic to get help. There might be a steady stream of children that are lost and wandering around that we will be able to help for a long time." Kids Alive is expanding its campus in Haiti with help from funds raised in Valparaiso'.
