Help for Haiti

We continue to pray for those affected by the earthquake that devastated the nation of Haiti yesterday, and we can't help but feel deeply saddened and called to step forward to help.  While it's not possible for all of us to physically be there to aid in disaster relief, we can still help out through monetary means.  Food, water, medical supplies, and emergency personnel are in dire need--but they can only get there through the generosity of people like you and me.  It is a sad truth that tragedies such as this can bring out the worst in people...there WILL be scams out there so please be careful about where you're sending your money.  Here are some reputable sites you can visit to learn more about how you can lend a helping hand:

  1. This is really a well laid out website. I like how you have presented the information in full detail. Keep up the great work and please stop by at my site sometime. Keep it up..

    Studies using nitrile exam gloves have shown that they also greatly reduce irritations as well as infections.
    They are very comfortable to wear and can actually be worn for extended periods of time.

  3. Our family just made a donation to Samaritan's Purse. We really like supporting that organization b/c not only do they provide tangible help but also the Gospel!

    Stopping by from SITS!

  4. This is so important, thanks for sharing. I especially like that last idea you gave for donating to the Red Cross...you're right, everyone has a cell phone these days!
