Mercy Medical Airlift is in the news today as an important player in a drama involving a Haitian woman rescued from the brink of death and transported to her son’s side in Virginia Beach.

Solange Charles escaped from the building which trapped her when the earthquake struck on January 12 and managed to get to her truck, where she spent six days until her son, Joseph “Screwface” Charles, found her with a badly injured left leg and close to death. Screwface is a music producer living in Virginia Beach who went to Haiti to find his mom. She was airlifted from Haiti and hospitalized in West Palm Beach.
