CNN: Children in Haiti quake need artificial limbs; only prosthetics company in country was leveled
Haiti's new generation of amputees: Some Haitian children who got out of the earthquake rubble alive now face another challenge: living without a limb. The only prosthetics company in the country was leveled by the quake. CNN's Elizabeth Cohen reports.

1. She does realize most of these kids would need help
from a kind foreigner anyway?

It does not matter if the company was or was not leveled. The people who'd be able to afford it would get them, not those that could not.

I sure hope they do what they did in Mexico, and run a program for the poor.
