Their future was in the hands of Dr. Henri Ford. Born in Haiti, he and his family left a Port-au-Prince neighborhood in 1972. He became an ivy-league-trained pediatric surgeon, now Chief of Surgery at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. He rarely returned to his home country, but that changed when the earthquake struck.
