Earthquake Relief

Today was spent adding links to the church web site and Facebook pages for Earthquake Relief donations. Living in Miami, we're a little better acquainted than most with the plight of the Haitian people. Their poverty stricken country was devastated yesterday by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. No one was spared, not the rich or the poor. The president's palace was leveled. Hospitals were leveled. Schools were leveled.

The grandfather of one of my daughter's friends rode out the quake on the roof of his house, laying flat to hopefully minimize the chances of being killed. They talked to him last night after hours of not knowing, and thank God he's all right. He's a sweet man that runs a business down there and lives here part time.

This act of nature that has destroyed a country, a country, lasted a mere 30 seconds. Thirty seconds and now hundreds of thousands are feared dead.

Please give to help the relief efforts. Give to whichever organization you choose, give a lot, give a little, but please. Give something. Right now they need money and water the most.

This is an organization that is a part of the United Methodist Church. 100% of each and every donation goes to the relief efforts. Their administrative costs are taken care of in other ways. If you donate you can be sure that all of it is going to Haiti.
