Diane McMutrie barely had wiped away one round of tears before another one began as she spoke at a community rally last night in honor of her daughters, Jamie and Ali, whose plight to get orphans in their care out of earthquake-stricken Haiti has drawn worldwide attention.
“I am so thankful that Jamie arrived today,” Ms. McMutrie said, before bowing her head to compose herself.
Ms. McMutrie told the crowd of nearly 100 people who gathered at the Mayernik Center in Avonworth Community Park how much her family appreciates the overwhelming support her daughters have received since the earthquake destroyed Haiti’s capital and left the orphanage Jamie and Ali helped run in tatters.
“The girls said to please say thank you all for everything you have been doing,” Ms. McMutrie said.
