  1. Please help me save my life and my child from violent and gang I am Haitian I really need help for humanitarian parole please god will reward you please
    I am a family of 2 who already have a valid passport, If you can't support all 1 of us, you can help one of us please we have people who receive us at home to give us housing
    Please make a difference as you increase the blessings in your life.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

  2. They are Haitians themselves!

  3. I can imagine what they are going through bless they soul

  4. Why do Americans go to places that most of us who have common sense know are dangerous for us?

  5. Why the police in Haiti is not doing nothing about this why are they not being arrested

  6. I guess that the white LDS bishops don't think they are worth that much to get back.
    Black people, stay away from cults who consider you cursed. I don't care how much money and food they give you.
    Trust in Jesus Christ, and he will supply all your needs.

  7. This is dumb as s***! The Haitian government and the US government both have military availability!! To say there is nothing they can do is a lie!

  8. Don't go to dominico or Haiti. Or Mexico

  9. Ask for 6k then ask for 200k …scary part is it sounds like they are heing held by greedy idiots …no honor among thieves it would seem

  10. We went and got passports for all our kids and ourselves ..like a 1k dollars ๐Ÿ˜ฎ and we still haven't built up the courage to go anywhere…this is EXACTLY why ๐Ÿ˜ข

  11. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  12. Very sad this happened to the lovely couple. I hope they make it back unharmed.
    (But WHY VISIT HAITI in the first place? We all see how terribly dangerous it is)

  13. ******************… Why America …………… don't help those people ….,*****"""""""" I guess they are not!!!!!!!!!!!…….White

  14. *************** they give them those Gun Gun Zam……… Joseph Michel mathely assassin assassin assassin assassin assassin kriminel kriminel kriminel

  15. *************** they give them those Gun Gun Zam……… Joseph Michel mathely assassin assassin assassin assassin assassin kriminel kriminel kriminel

  16. But why would you go???! Im saddened and at the same time wtf were you thinking.? My mother other day said it's not safe to go anymore. I said he'll no you won't go!! It was obvious for a while that it would be stupid. What were they thinking was gonna happen??

  17. Don't go to Mexico. And stay the hell away from Haiti. No dam way

  18. American ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
    This couple going to Haiti to visit a sick family member so sad!!
    Please prayers for their safe return.!!!
    God bless!!!

  19. The FBI need to investigate the family friend and others because how do they know their were American in the bus make them talk and that's my opinion

  20. Americans need to stay tf in America! What is it with these third world country kidnappers? Do they have ANY IDEA whether the families of the people they kidnap even have any money? If they kidnapped me they would be short! I have no parents, no children, no siblings, and no spouse. The few cousins I have barely know me, and the few friends I have don't have any Ransome money and I doubt seriously that they would pay it unless they were Oprah rich. Why would you EVER go somewhere that is constantly and presently in such a state of unrest???

  21. Dm Hati!!!!! Thats y they can't prosper and and more earthquake is coming for them soon.

  22. I don't see other ppl smiling is this funny.

  23. Omg my prayers going out to the couple and their family hope they will be returned safely ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

  24. Even truckers coming in from DR with merchandise are getting kidnapped and kill.

  25. Prayers that God brings them back safely for, His Glory zin Christ Jesus Mighty Holy Name. Amen!! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

  26. I don't see this ending well.

  27. A lot of Haitians living in the US sent guns to the gangs for a lot of money we need to arrest them and deport them

  28. It's not just in America, they act this way worldwide ๐ŸŒŽ

  29. I be telling people when you leave home you don't if you coming back.

  30. So why they went to Haiti? when they knew how it's over there

  31. Haiti is a Terrible Country….Ran by Thugs and Gangs… Leaving off US soil wasn't a good IDea ๐Ÿ’ก…

  32. Though extremely ignorant those people knew the risks. F them. Now we have to waste money bringing stupid people back to America.

  33. The wife made a huge mistake by sharing this picture in the family group chat. Sometimes, people act like they love you but they don't cause they see you are happier than them.

  34. Why would ya go to Haiti

  35. THIS REPORTING IS NOT CORRECT All.

  36. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

  37. My question is why would you go to Haiti knowing the country is dealing with very high gang violence crisis smh they kinda put that on themselves sad to say.

  38. One question…If the place is so dangerous, why are there still flights going? Yes everyone knows not to go, but maybe there should be more in place to prevent them from even thinking about it.

  39. So Sad ๐Ÿ˜ข Hope ๐Ÿ™ they make it ๐Ÿ  safe.

  40. This is so sad. I hope they make it home safe and sound

  41. Why did they go to Haiti?
