   I'm guessing that this is in response to a statement like "No one loves me" or "No one cares about us"
   
   Just in general I think you could say:
   
   Jezi fè sa (Jesus does that/this)

What measure do Haitians use for temperature? Fahrenheit or Celsius? How would I say this in creole according to their measurement. "In Haiti it is usually 80 or 90 degrees, but here it is only around 35 degrees."

They use both.
Celsius → degre sèlsiyis or degre santigrad
Fahrenheit → degre farennayt

In Haiti it is usually 85 or 90 degree F, but here it is only 35 degrees.

Dabitid, an Ayiti li fè 85 oubyen 90 degre Farennayt, men isit la li fè sèlman 35 degre.

In Haiti it is usually 29 or 32 degree Celsius, but here it is only 2 degrees.
Dabitid, an Ayiti li fè 29 oubyen 32 degre santigrad, men isit la li fè sèlman 2 degre santigrad.

How can I say: I will help you with anything you need. There are several ways to say "anything" right?

Yes, but in your sentence you can translate anything as nenpòt sa, nenpòt kisa, or nenpòt bagay
I will help you with anything you need.
Mwen va ede'w avèk nenpòt sa ou bezwen.
or
M'ap ede'w ak nenpòt sa ou bezwen.

Is this pretty much the translation you had?

Do you know this song

I would like to teach it to my kid, but I can't recall the lyric.
Thanks for helping.

Sounds like a physical property like your own residence.  Is that what it is?

...sou teren'w lan?
...sou bitasyon'w lan?

You know, I could've nailed this if you had given me more info :)

Is this kreyole anything like swahili? How long does it take to learn kreyole? Where can I find some classes?

#1. I do not speak Swahili so I couldn't answer that.  I'm not even sure you can compare these two languages.  And I am sensing that you may be talking about another type of  "creole" (other than Haitian Creole?).  Are you planning a trip to St Lucia, Haiti, Martinique, or ...Seychelles?  There are some differences in the creole spoken in these places and others.

#2. That I know of, English, Spanish, French, and Italian speakers pick up the Haitian Creole language really quickly.  You bat your eyes and they're already speaking like natives :)  I do not know about other nationalities because I haven't come in contact with them.  But I'm sure they would learn quickly as well.  I imagine the effort you put into learning a language would dictate how long it takes for you to learn it.  But even after you've become fluent in a language, you will be a student of that language for a lifetime.  I am a lifetime student of H. Creole, French, and English; and an active student of the Spanish language.

#3.  Depending on which creole you want to learn, start looking online for classes offered at colleges, universities, community centers, churches, etc....  You should be able to find Haitian Creole classes you can attend in person in places with high population of Haitians (Florida, New York, Mass., Pennsylvania, the Carolinas, New Jersey, Conn.... Haiti, Canada, France.... there are many locations!)   And if you can't find a class in your neighborhood, you can have a similar experience with online classes offered via Skype.  Just start your search online and find the right class for you.
Bòn chans!

Here's a question for you dear. the Haitian proverb "bwe dlo nan ve respekte ve", now I know what it says in English but I need to know what it's referring to. Th

Bwè dlo, respekte vè is what I usually hear.  People say it as a warning.  It basically means Be cautious of people you're dealing with.

What is poison kraze nan bouyon in English?

Do you mean pwason kraze nan bouyon?
FYI:  French's POISON translates POISON and French's POISSON translates FISH
Haitian Creole PWASON (from French's POISSON) means FISH

Pwason kraze nan bouyon is an expression said of people who do everything together, they are very similar in the way they think, act, etc... In English you say two peas in a pod or is it two of a kind?

Pwason kraze nan bouyon lit. fish grounded in soup, fish soup

Think about it: The fish is so grounded into the soup that it disappeared.  You can't differentiate between the two.
Example of sentences you will hear in Creole:
-De moun sa yo se pwason kraze nan bouyon - These two people are inseparable.
