URGENT!!!
We have just been made aware of an opportunity for people to assist with emergency housing for Haitians who are accompanying trauma victims to US hospitals. Read our latest post to know more.
By now, we have all seen the news and heard the stories. Haiti is the last country in the world that needed a catastrophe like this. Currently there are many relief organizations on the ground struggling to provide basic needs such as water, medical care, shelter and food. Many reports have come from the region saying that the problems in Haiti will only begin to worsen. The entire infrastructure of Haiti has been literally shaken to the ground and the problems developing there will most definitely turn into long-term chronic problems.
We are working hard to communicate with relief organizations and individuals from Haiti to determine the most appropriate avenues to direct our funds. Our goal is to raise funds that will go towards organizations that are responding to basic needs while also attempting to create long-term, systemic change. If you’d like to help alleviate the suffering, you can make a tax-deductible donation here on our website or send a check to PO BOX 455, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009. We will make sure your resources are leveraged in the most efficient and effective way possible.
Sending out peace and love to all those living in Haiti and to all who were affected by this disaster…
