I'm sure by now you've all heard about the earthquakes in Haiti that caused mass devastation of the capital, Port-au-Price, which took many lives and injured a large number of people. if you haven't already offered monetary support to begin to heal a broken land, I suggest giving to either the Red Cross or Doctors Without Borders.
Now, I am not trying to guilt anyone into giving up their hard-earned money, but this is a worthwhile cause, and after all, you can't take it with you. What better way to use your money than to spend it on people? A donation at this time would be a gift that continues to give.
I understand if you are hard-pressed for money, and no one would blame you if you chose not to give, least of all me, but I just ask that you each search your hearts and see if there is some amount, no matter how small, that you can give to help the citizens of Haiti rebuild after this horrendous natural disaster.
Below are a couple of links if you wish to make an online donation; there are also instructions on these pages if you would rather send a check instead.
Thank you for reading.
