Ali and Jamie McMutrie struggled to make sense yesterday of the 10 days since an earthquake destroyed their beloved Haiti, prompting pleas for help that were finally answered earlier this week by a rescue mission that brought them home to Pittsburgh.
The Ben Avon sisters had cared for the 54 orphans who were evacuated with them for years, in some cases. Yesterday, as many of them were taken home by their adoptive families, they said goodbye.
Jamie McMutrie, 30, said she still did not know the logistics of how they were saved from the crumbling city, where they had feared for the children’s lives.
