We are beyond blessed. We live in a country where almost all of us are safe, we have clean water to drink, food to eat, and at least basic medical care. The stories coming out of Haiti are heartbreaking. In a country where people already have so much less than we do, they are struggling with inoperable hospitals and chaos beyond our ability to comprehend.
There are many people in need of more assistance than we can imagine. Here are three ways to help.
FYI - The head of UMCOR and 2 other people from that organization were in Hotel Montana when the earthquake hit. They were rescued, alive, 55 hours later. One of them had a Tootsie Roll Pop that they shared! Two of these people had gone in on the 10th or 11th and the other had just arrived that morning.
ReplyDeleteUMCOR has had an office in Haiti since 2005 because of the great need they had prior to the earthquake.
