In this June 24, 2015 photo, Isabel Gideon holds her eight-month-old daughter Naika Doctor inside the tin-roofed wooden shack the family built on a steep, rocky hillside in Canaan, Haiti. Gideon and her partner live with four of their children, three from previous relationships, in their well kept one room shack that they divided in two with a decorative curtain. For furniture they use two single beds, a table, and a portable crib, beside which hang two pairs of baby sandals. Several of their neighbor’s shacks have blown down in recent high winds.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
You can read more here about our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is also found on our FAQs.
