i wish there was a fund or something that people could donate money. I would send some money to Huang. i don't have much but i could send a little.
Please set something up nat geo.
Was so touched by this story, having a hard time not thinking about it. I feel as though the story was cut short. Will there be updates? Is there a website or way to help him, financially or another way?
Further, wasn't his attitude inspiring and his wished humbling. I truly wish there was something that one could do.
What really frustrates me is that Geo does a very good job editing together a great emotional story, hopes to grab viewers who will react just this way...and then does not have the common sense or common goodwill to set up or direct viewers to a site where we can help...in some form? It's outrageous!
Wake up National Geographic! Very unprofessional!
Is nat geo doing anything to help haung and his family? i mean with food and housing... taking the burden off of them with that stuff?
please do concider setting up a fund for donations. and i hope haung is aware of how much people care.
is there anyway to write him? i relise he doesn't speak english... there are websites on the web that can translate the letters.
anyways thanks for the updates. continue to keep us updated nat geo
