Help for Haiti

Help for Haiti

All our hearts are breaking as we watch the suffering unfold in Haiti.  This earthquake is being called "The Western Hemisphere's Tsunami" and as the president there said, the impact is "unimaginable".

There was a report earlier of a woman who had lost her foot, sitting in the street still waiting for help. I know we all want to help in some way. Here are some organizations you may want to consider:

Doctors without Borders- All three of their primary medical centers have collapsed, but they have already set up tents and are delivering emergency care.

Oxfam- Has four offices in Haiti and 200 workers on the ground.

The UN Foundation- Responsible for delivering medical care, food and water to the victims.

As Habitat said, Help us in praying for the best, but in preparing for the worst.
