CLAYTON, N.C. – Eight months after a devastating earthquake hit Haiti, the country is still struggling to clean-up and rebuild but relief organizations say donations have dropped off. However, a North Carolina group is still working tirelessly to help Haiti rebuild.

For Helen Little, Haiti is where her heart is. The orphans at the Ryan Epps Home in Haiti are like children to her. Little and Valerie Carpenter were with their Methodist group in Haiti when the earthquake struck. They've been back twice since then, most recently last month.

“I will never be removed from it,” said Little. “I will never forget how those people suffered. Everything is not all better now. There's still tents, people are still hungry. I hope the world remembers these people in Haiti.”

But relief organizations worry people are starting to forget. In the three months after the earthquake, the Triangle Red Cross alone received about $3 million in donations. Last month, donations had dropped to less than $5,000.

“We need to remind America that out of sight does not mean the problem is solved,” said Barry Porter, the Triangle Red Cross' Executive Director. “They're in survival mode most days.”

“Port Au Prince looks like a war zone. Walls are still sideways,” said Little.

So, the North Carolina Methodist group still works, day in and day out, to help rebuild Haiti one home at a time.

A fundraiser concert will be held Friday night for Haitian relief. It's called “Musicians for Missions.” The free concert features more than twenty artists from across the state. It starts at 7 p.m. at the Garner United Methodist Church. Donations will go for Haitian relief efforts.
