Earthquake in Haiti

Unless you are a hermit crab, you have heard about the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti yesterday. Previous to this devastation, Haiti was one of the poorest nations of our country.

If you feel led to donate to relief efforts, please consider doing so through Compassion International. This is a ministry I have been involved with for more than 16 years and their financial accountability is unmatchable.

Here are some examples of what your donation can provide:
$35 helps provide a relief pack filled with enough food and water to sustain a family for one week.
$70 gift helps care for their needs for two weeks.
$105 helps provide relief packs filled with enough food and water to sustain two families for two weeks.
$210 gift helps care for two families' needs.
$525 provides relief packs filled with enough food and water to sustain 10 families for two weeks.
$1,050 gift cares for 10 families' needs.
$1,500 helps rebuild a home.
$2,100 supplies 20 families with the basics for three weeks.

They have set up an easy donation site HERE.
