Jimmy Jean-Louis who plays The Haitian on Heroes lived up to his show’s title and visited Haiti, that has been severely hit by two hurricanes Gustav and Hannah, to donate sports equipment from the
Hollywood United Football Club.
Jimmy Jean-Louis Haitian native says, “Haiti always needs help, but right now the need is critical. The gravity of the situation is comparable to what happened in New Orleans with Katrina, it is happening right now in many cities in Haiti.â€Â
HUFC whose players include Anthony Lapaglia (Without a Trace), Brandon Routh (Superman), Ziggy Marley, Frank Le Boeuf (France World cup winner 1998), Alexi Lalas (former General Manager of David Beckham’s LA Galaxy), Gilles Marini (Sex in the City’s hunk) amongst others, generously donated sports kits to AJSB and L’Athletique D’Haiti, two non-profit organizations in Cite Soleil and Bel Air, the most impoverished slums of Port Au Prince, Haiti.
When a hurricane hits outside the US we seem to just blow it off, but Jimmy is trying to help get the word out that Haiti really needs our help so please take the time to do so.
