The grim news has been told to the Molly Hightower’s family. 22-year-old Molly Tower is an American woman who had been volunteering in a Haitian orphanage. Her dead body was found from the ruble of the seven-story building where she used to live and work.
Molly Hightower of Port Orchard, Washington, went to Haiti in June 2009 to volunteer for ‘Friends of the Orphans’. ‘Friends of the Orphans’ is a Chicago-based group which runs orphanages across South and North America. Her family tells that Molly Hightower had an ambition in her life – to work for International adoption. She studied at University of Portland.
Molly Hightower’s family told that she returned to America to visit her family before Christian holidays, but left soon to get back at the orphanage.
Molly Hightower maintained a blog where she used to write
about her experience at the orphanage and about the mixed emotions she felt for the orphans. In one of her posts, she wrote that she could never understand why anyone would want to give their children up.
Molly Hightower’s friend Rachel was visiting her at Haiti when the earthquake hit the area. She described how the building shook and how they ran towards the door when it collapsed. Rachel is alive and has received some injuries.
Molly Hightower was found dead in the rubble when the rescue teams searched for her. She is survived by her parents and three siblings.
