Help For Haiti

"A kind and compassionate act is often its own reward."
- William John Bennett

As you probably know already, the country of Haiti was hit with a massive earthquake Tuesday evening outside Port-au-Prince, affecting approximately 3 million inhabitants. This has impacted millions, causing severe structural damage and has left many of the citizenry without power. However, there are many places to go to if you want to donate to help the Haitian people in this time of crisis. Your donations (however little) will go a long way in providing substantial relief and recovery to those in distress. If you don't know where to go, here are a few links that can help you help those currently in need of assistance. To those who happen to have loved ones over in Haiti, I wish safety for each and every one of them.
