COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. - Survivors are still struggling in Haiti, five days after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the country.

A Columbia County missionary couple was in Haiti when the earthquake happened.

Donnie and Cindy Rogers have been doing missionary work in Haiti since the 1980's.

They say it was God's will to have them in Haiti during the time of the earthquake last Tuesday.

Now, they're sharing their story.

"At one point there were three different hands on my ankle saying, "Help me, help me, help me," said missionary Cindy Rogers.

For Donnie and Cindy Rogers, the aftermath of Haiti's earthquake can be described in one word.

"It was horrific, to put it mildly," said Cindy Rogers.

The Rogers were in Haiti last week during a mission trip providing medical treatment for Haitians with lepers.

The Rogers say they had planned to leave Haiti on Tuesday but couldn't get a flight.

Then disaster struck.

"We were at a corner fixing to turn and all of a sudden the car just started vibrating. I thought we had run into a hole or something,” said Donnie Rogers.

"My first thought was get out of the car and I saw a bicycle that threw a little boy over but then I saw a man flying in the air. I don't know where he came from. I don't know where he ended up," said Cindy Rogers.

The Rogers say people were running and screaming.

Then the injured started coming out.

Having medical backgrounds, the Rogers rushed to help the wounded Haitians at a makeshift clinic.

"We laid them absolutely touching each other," said Cindy Rogers.

But the demand for treatment outweighed the medical supplies.

Cindy remembers having to tell a daughter that her mother wasn't going to make it.

"She said, ‘No- I don't have a brother, I don't have a sister, my house just went down. You save my mother.’ She finally got in her ear and said I love you momma and that lady just slipped away," said Cindy Rogers.

"Once we bandaged them there was no place to send them and that was frustrating knowing I've done all I can do for these people- it was just overwhelming," said Donnie Rogers.

After running out of supplies, the Rogers chose to come home but they say not for long.

They're already planning their next trip back to Haiti to continue their mission to help save lives.

The Rogers are meeting Thursday evening around 7:30 p.m. at the Savannah Rapids Pavilion to gather more volunteers to take back with them to Haiti.

They're hoping to leave within the next two weeks.
