Touching Haiti is the story of an heroic medical mission team that traveled to the most impoverished country in the Western Hemisphere, with 53 duffle bags of medical supplies and good will. Told through the eyes of one of the non-medical members, the narrative begins in February, 2001, when political instability, rampant corruption and unspeakable poverty fanned the flames of civil war. It chronicles the suffering of Haitians, the web of volunteer Samaritans and the all too often door of death they share. 
Written to raise awareness for the mission project, the book balances pain with hope, and offers simple solutions in small deeds that remind us of how meaningful all our lives can be.

Touching Haiti: A Medical Mission Story

One woman’s story, every woman’s nightmare 
Donna Marie Hayes had a fortitude and smarts. She already survived so much. In this gripping memoir, Hayes recounts the story of her impoverished Jamaican childhood and eventual immigration to the United States at 14. She weathers hardships, including a strict church upbringing, family abandonment, and marriages fused with domestic violence. Then she breaks free as a single mother. 
Decades later, Donna is educated and at the top of her game in New York City. Her career is soaring on Wall Street and she is starring in her own one-woman show off Broadway. Yet at the peak of her triumph, she is scammed and robbed of her life’s savings by the “love of her life” who she meets on an online dating site. The mastermind was not the usual faceless online fraudster, hiding behind a computer screen in a faraway land; rather, he slept beside her for a year and a half, pretending to be the love of her life. 
This is the story of how that woman rose yet again to find her power, making the scam and her choice of such a man the last run along the broken roads of her past.
