Retired Haitian swears she will never go back to Haiti and it is our brothers and sisters fault

"I worked so hard for this; built the big house and everything. Now I can't go back," she said.

"The saddest part is that our own brothers and sisters in Haiti are the ones who turned the country into an unlivable hell," she continued. "And sometimes I don't know if I should blame the thugs with the guns or the thugs who hire them."

When I asked her where she was from in Haiti. "somewhere in the northern part," she said.

But all the kidnappings and insecurities are mainly in Port-au-Prince," I replied.

"No sweetheart, the entire country is infected. All I need is a piece of mind in my old age and I'm paying too much for the here in Miami." The old lady said on her way from being picked up at a Health Clinic. "I am tired I want to go home."
