Jeardine Augustine – Female 20-25

We live in South Florida and we’re looking for my cousin Jeardine Augustine.  She’s between 20-25 years old and was living in Port-au-Prince in order to attend University Lumiere for Nursing.  We are dying to know what happen to her.  If you see her, tell her to please call Florida.

*update – As of 1 a.m EST January 14, 2010, Jeardine Augustine was located in Gonaives, Haiti.  Just a few hours before the quake, Jeardine and her roommate had to collect a transfer at Western Union in Port au Prince.  When she got back to her apartment, it was destroyed.  Everyone or about 17 residents living in the apartment building perish except her and her roommate.  She then boarded a bus back to mother’s home in Gonaives.
