Support Disaster Relief in Haiti

As you may have heard, a 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti this week, devastating the capital, Port-au-Prince, and surrounding areas. There are reports that thousands are feared dead, and thousands more missing. Haiti is already one of the poorest nations in the world, and they are not blessed with the resources to deal quickly with a crisis like this. They need our help.

If you can, please make a contribution to the International Response Fund of the Red Cross, please do so online:

You can also text message HAITI to 90999 on your cell phone to make an immediate donation of $10 from your phone bill. Let’s be sure to keep those who have lost loved ones, or are suffering the anxiety of not knowing, in our thoughts and prayers.

If you or anyone you know is looking for information on family members in Haiti, call the U.S. State Department toll-free at 1-888-407-4747 for help. You can also find more information on google.com/haitiearthquake.
