As many as one thousand people are believed to have died when Hurricane Matthew slammed into southern Haiti last week. So a Haitian relief organization with ties to the Tampa Bay area is trying to assist the thousands more who are facing a humanitarian crisis. Daniel Thelusmar is president of Caribbean American Civic Movement. He says that affected areas are so remote and isolated that shipments of food and supplies will take too long to get to the people who need them the most, so he says its best to make a financial donation. We also hear about the need for volunteers in Haiti, especially for doctors, nurses or engineers.
