We can all help

capt_photo_1263879497401-1-0

Just like many of you, we’ve been glued to our television and radio, watching and listening to the stories of sadness and loss, and total devastation. And after I would turn off the news, shaken by despair, I would say to myself “If only I could help”. But how? What could I possibly do that could make a difference?

After doing a bit of careful research, I found a well compiled list of reliable organizations you can donate to here. And I also found a great post here sharing six ways you can help in Haiti. We have donated, and I hope you will too.

To all those in Haiti, to those we have lost, to those that are clinging on for survival, and to those that are risking their lives to save others: Our hearts go out to all of you.

If you can help, please do. They need us.

9 of you had this to say:
