Heroes cast member Jimmy Jean-Louis is searching for his elderly parents in Haiti according to CNN.

A Haitian native, Jean-Louis learned that a house he had grown up in collapsed, killing several of his relatives.

I have not slept yet. The second house that I grew up in was down, and some relatives have died, from what I have been told. I haven’t been able to reach my parents. I have heard that they are OK, but I do not know what is going on around them.

Jean-Louis is the founder of Hollywood Unites for Haiti, a nonprofit organization that provides sports and cultural education to youth in Haiti. So many sad stories, so much destruction in Haiti!
