Brewer hopes to gather enough interest and money to create his own haven for Haiti's forgotten children, a home and skills center where they can live, learn and be children again. Just seven years away from retirement, Brewer is considering moving to Haiti if his dream becomes a reality. If I looked at it purely for me, it's dumb as hell. I want to give them a future, so they have all the tools they're going to need to make a happy life. Brewer said there are a few homes in Haiti for abandoned or slave children, but that the demand for care far outstrips the amount of room.
Somebody do it.
Brewer knows that people everywhere, even in Corpus Christi, need help. But the conditions are so desperate in Haiti that he can't ignore it, he said. There are lots of resources here. Those kids that are there have nothing and no one. Absolutely nothing and no one.
