( CNN ) -- Jacques Bazin did n't have time to catch his breath after being pulled from the rubble of a three-bedroom home on the outskirts of the Haitian capital . Though he 'd been trapped in the house for three days , he marshaled the strength to begin helping the Haitians who had just rescued him search for other survivors . He spoke to CNN on Friday , two hours after being rescued , and again Saturday as he worked to free 10 children still encased in the toppled residence . `` Next time you call , God willing , they might be out . Otherwise , they will die , '' he said . `` Their voices are really low because for four days , they eat nothing . I drill holes on top of the cement and put bread inside so they can eat . What we do , we have to do fast . '' Friday evening made his mission more urgent as two children were killed when an aftershock -- one of four that day , all 4.6 magnitude or higher -- disrupted the concrete slabs imprisoning them , he said . A New York-based philanthropist , Bazin , 54 , has been in Haiti since December 13 . His nonprofit organization , JB Humanitarian , builds schools for the poor in Haiti . Six staff members of one of his schools , in Ocadet , died when the 7.0-magnitude quake struck Tuesday , causing the school to collapse on top of them . Bazin was on the porch of a nearby home taking pictures of the mountains . Twenty-four children were inside the home , he said . `` The next thing I know , this thing is splitting in half -- the mountain split in half , '' he said . `` The house where I was went down . '' He and 12 of the children had been freed as of Saturday morning , but the remaining children were in the back of the house when the earthquake hit . Bazin said he and 11 others were working to free them in one of the poorest sections of Port-au-Prince . Looking for a loved one ? Visit iReport.com . Bazin 's dilemma was one of myriad stories of lost loved ones pouring into CNN this week via its tip lines and iReport.com . Other pleas for help have reportedly come from within the rubble of collapsed buildings . Regine Madhere is one such case . The 26-year-old worked in the pharmacy of a four-story Caribbean market leveled by the temblor . Stateside friends and relatives in Port-au-Prince told CNN that Madhere had been sending texts to relatives and to a local radio station this week . Reached Saturday in Port-au-Prince , Madhere 's aunt and uncle said an American rescue team had been working through the night to rescue those trapped in the market 's ruins . Watch a rescue at the market from earlier in the week . Her uncle , Guy Gelin , further said he had seen the rescuers free six to eight people Friday and he was hopeful that Madhere would be free by day 's end . `` They are working very , very hard . They make many holes so [ those trapped ] can breathe . They give us hope today , '' said her aunt , Ginette Madhere , who has n't slept since the quake rocked the capital . Help the Madhere family find Regine . With a dearth of resources and rescuers in Haiti , victims are reaching out to locales as faraway as Florida , New York , even Germany . The long-distance text messages serve as a sign of the fear and desperation many are experiencing in the Western Hemisphere 's most-impoverished nation . Bazin said his own anguish is confounded by doubts that rescuers will reach his school in Ocadet anytime soon . `` Nobody give a damn because these people are so poor , '' he said . `` This is the last place they would ever think of coming . '' He planned to head into the city later Saturday , he said , to find more food for the trapped children . He said he also hoped to rent a tractor to move some of the larger chunks of concrete enveloping the students . `` I have to get them out before I get back to the States . I can not just leave them like that , '' he said .
