Haiti Help continued...

Haitians still need our help.  With the 5.9 aftershock that ripped through the country, more fuel has been added to the devastating fire.  Yesterday I donated more money to Unicef and I strongly encourage everyone to do the same.  You can still donate to the red cross as I mentioned before.  Or you could donate to the Haitian Congress to Fortify Haiti as Anna-Maria mentioned last week.  Anything helps.  The firm I work at recently announced a significant donation to Doctors Without Borders and Habitat for Humanity, which really warms my heart.

Please, do what you can to help.

More on Haiti

I've been in touch with the Haitian Congress to Fortify Haiti about the supplies they're looking for. They're based reasonably locally (Evanston) and were on NPR today discussing their role in the rescue efforts. We are going to try and donate there, so if you have any of the items below, I'll be happy to drop them off.

Haiti Help

I just texted Haiti to 90999 and by doing so, donated $10 to the red cross, which will charge me on my next phone bill.  You should do the same.  You can also click here to donate to the Red Cross if you're unsure about texting (it's legit, I promise). 

We watched part of the news last night and my heart hurt so very bad.  $10 will go a very long way for this country and it's people.
