Help for Haiti

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong.  Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.  ~George Washington Carver


Laptop still out of commission. But there could be bigger problems. On that note, please consider donating to help with the disaster relief in Haiti. 

The Mayor's Fund for us NYC folk is devoting 100% of donations to the Haiti Disaster Fund. I love this story  posted on the Dept of Ed website about a few schools who gathered bags of change and sweet letters written by the students.  "Dear Haiti: here is some money and a bag of hope," wrote Hana, a third-grader at P.S. 188, in a letter. "I am praying for you every night. Remember there is always hope! Very soon everything will be fixed." Ohh...I cry just reading that letter! Kids have the biggest hearts and say such real, honest things. 

I got an email from International Medical Corps letting me know what their organization is and what they are doing in Haiti. IMC is a global, humanitarian, nonprofit organization, committed to the rescue effort. According to their website they are currently working at the  Hospital De'l Universite d'etat d'Haiti treating the injured. You can donate $10 simply by texting 'Haiti" to 85944 or you can donate online.
I'm also including a widget from their website in this post, hopefully it shows up. You can also donate here.
