You are awesome - we cannot thank you enough.

I need to get off my ass and do the same, they deserve all the support in the world right now.
Good job man. Give us the restaurant name so we can blast some good reviews too.
JD Vance: See, just like I said, I created "stories so that the American media actually pays attention," and now these Haitian businesses are getting the community support that they needed, just as planned!
The real test of Springfield, OH community will be their election results
Those 20k Haitians cannot vote, that's why they are such a juicy target. I'm also interested in how the broader community will vote, but one thing is Shure.. they have some klan members in that community.
The bedrock of cultural acceptance "cuisine". There is nothing more powerful for me to get out of my comfort zone than hearing, "...the food is badass over there". I got mugged 40 minutes after arriving in Mexico City; I can safely say the comida was worth it.
I'm glad to see this. I'm not the best historian, but Haiti seems to have one of the roughest histories. Everyone who's ever had anything to do with it from its colonization to present day has left it a worse place than they've found it. Even the modern aid that gets sent there is done thoughtlessly and seems to hurt them more than help them.
I think they're an amazing and persistently strong people, but I do not fault any of them the slightest bit for wanting to get out.
Anything that positively helps the Haitian people is such a joy to hear about.
I choose to believe in the goodwill of the American people, and this is a wonderful demonstration of that trait.
It's this very goodwill that the pedophile party is fearful of.
