Sylvia Frederic tries in vain to rush her fatally ill son Johnny Frederic, 26, to the hospital before he died in her arms in the back of a "tap-tap" truck in the Damien neighborhood of Port-Au-Prince. Still reeling from the earthquake, Haiti's misery was deepened by a cholera epidemic that claimed the lives of those who had survived.
