Haiti

It has been awhile. I know. But I have a very extensive list of things to share with you guys. It's just about finding the time to write it. But bare with me.

Anyway, I want to dedicate this post to talking about Haiti. I didn't hear about the quake until the day after the event happened. It is absolutely devastating to think that 50 -100 thousand people are dead as a result of this quake. That is baffling!! I truly have a problem wrapping my head around that number. We have a fair amount of people at my school that are Haitian and my heart just goes out to them as they try to get in touch with their family members. I can't imagine being in that situation and not knowing the status of the people you love.

I think it is important that we join together to help Haiti during this time. There are many organizations that are accepting financial donations, food, clothing, medical supplies to Haiti. This link features a list of organizations offering aid: . YELE, American Red Cross, and International Rescue Committee are even accepting text donations.
To make an automatic $10 donation to the Red Cross, text "HAITI" to 90999; the money will be charged directly to your cell phone bill.

To donate $5 via your cellphone to Wyclef Jean's grassroots organization: text "Yele" to 501501.

You can text HAITI to 25383 to give $5 to the International Rescue Committee.

Above all, I think something that we can do that doesn't take much effort is to pray for Haiti. I send out a prayer to all of Haiti......May God give them all comfort and strength during this difficult time.

And, as a final note, may we all remember that tomorrow is not promised. Cherish the present and show everyone that you love them today. May God bless us all.

Love you all.
