After rough 2009, remittances on rise - Business Monday - MiamiHerald.com: "After the Jan 12 earthquake in Haiti, Pierre Lopez doubled the amount he sends to his family in remittances.

Lopez, 49, a part-time hotel cleaner who lost his wife and 19-year-old daughter in the catastrophe, scrapes by on $400 every two weeks. He used to send $150 to his parents monthly. Now it's $300."
