Governor Dan McKee Calls for Unity and Support for Rhode Island’s Haitian Community
“Look, we have a community of hardworking people that are being attacked right now — loving families, caring neighbors, and yet they’re being attacked," McKee said. “This is a moment when we all should stand together to support the communities that are under attack — members who have been through trauma, who fear suffering and violence in their home country, and who have found a safe haven here among us.

Hi,
I was in (Providence) visiting clients and had a quick question.
Are you looking for a better janitorial service?
Just reply Yes or No. If it's Yes, I'll share a few ideas that have helped other businesses improve their cleaning.
Best,

I visited Haiti in 1989, and stayed in the village of Segur. The people that I spent most of my 2 weeks with were children and teenagers who made their way into my heart. I've carried my love for them over the last 37 years and always wondered if any of my friends had made it to the United States. It was also very heartbreaking for me whenever the earthquake news or other calamities that hit Haiti were reported. All I had to go on were their first names, but I took a leap, against all odds, and did a Facebook search with only a first name of a teenager who taught me 200 Kreyol words almost 4 decades ago. Miracle of miracles, I now have 2 of those young men back in my life. All three of us thank God for reuniting us on Facebook, and hope to see one another in person someday. I say all this to explain that I am actually feeling sick about how Trump portrays the Haitian people, and his threats against those in our neighborhoods, workplaces and churches. One of the highlights of my recent trip to Florida was having sweet conversations with so many who were in the hospitality service at the Disney resort that we stayed at. See you at the State House tomorrow, mezanmi.
