Despair hope come through in volunteers notes from Haiti

Dallas businessman Mike Roberts flew to Haiti on his company jet Monday with two doctors, a nurse and a load of medical supplies. His aim was to help in any way he could.
One of his first tasks was to comfort a dying boy.

“I have seen 3 people die in my first 5 hours. One was just a boy – he slowly died of respiratory failure. As he gasped for air he rarely took his eyes off me,” Roberts said in an e-mail message Tuesday evening.
