One Island. Two Countries. Only One Devastated

One Island, Hispanola. Two Countries, Haiti and Domician Republic, sharing the same land mass. How is it that Haiti is devastated and the Dominion Republic is unscathed? Natural diasters do not discriminate. What's wrong with this picture?

During Hurricane Katrina the US public raised one billion for the Red Cross and we haven't heard a peep about it since. Just as in business those who have been the most effective on the ground have been the small non profits who have been toiling away, getting the job done. So please find an organization that has been there doing the job and donate to them to insure that the money reaches the people of Haiti in a timely manner.
