BILLINGS - A Billings man is about to see his earthquake ravaged hometown for the first time.

Emmanuel Romulus moved to Billings from Haiti almost ten years ago.
Saturday he will return for the first time since the massive earthquake devastated the impoverished country two months ago.

Romulus will deliver 50 tents and 16 air mattresses for his own family and others who are still without homes.

The items were purchased with money raised from a fund he started.
The Billings community donated $6,000 towards his efforts. Romulus said he would like to thank everyone who gave especially St. Bernard's Parish and Freyenhagen Construction.

He said the items should help more than 250 people and keep them from sleeping in the mud.
