$10M In Medicine To Go To Storm-Ravaged Haiti

$10M Worth Of Antibiotics

4 Storms Caused Severe Damage In Haiti

MIAMI (CBS4) ― Miami-Dade County Commissioner Dorrin D. Rolle has announced a multi-million dollar humanitarian aid donation of medical supplies to storm-ravaged Haiti.

Rolle, whose district has a large Haitian population, has been working together with Artists Village, Inc., a non-profit organization, to oversee the distribution of $10 million worth of antibiotics to go to Haitians in need of medical treatment after four devastating storms destroyed several villages on the island.

Commissioner Rolle's ''Help for Haiti'' concert held on Sept. 27th, also raised $42,000 and filled a 40-foot container with donated items by the end of the event.

Rolle held a news conference Monday morning at Curleys House of Style, 6025 NW 6th Court, to release details about the sizable donation.
