Act Now to Save Children's Lives in Haiti - Active Rain can Make A Difference

Robert:  I hear you on the issue of trust and charitable organizations.  I think the ones I've linked to here, Save The Children, CARE, The Red Cross, and Doctors Without Borders are all highly reputable.

Jeff:  I believe China has seen similar devastation but this little country of Haiti...you've got to wonder how they will recover.  They've had so little for so long.

Liz:  You can Google Haiti Relief and there are many suggestions.  I think if all of us would just give a little bit it would go a very long way.

Anthony:  That's the issue for lots of us.  We think about it but don't do it.  This is why I posted the appeal.  It's interesting to me that few people have responded.  Maybe they've already made donations...I hope so.  What got me going on this was the magnitude of the disaster...how close Haiti is to the U.S...how much we have compared to how little they have.  Just five bucks....it's a cup of coffee and a muffin to us.  It's two day's pay for the average Haitian.

Debi:  I think many people do want to help.  All the aid workers and aid organization leaders I've heard today are saying that $$$$ is what is needed most.  We can all donate something to an organization that we trust.  I think if we can we must.

Nick:  It is awesome...but it will never be enough.  They have nothing and whatever any one of us can donate will absolutely help.  It's just a matter of finding the organization that you trust.  Red Cross, Care, Save the Children?

Not many know this but more than half of the people of Haiti are under the age of 18.  Most of them cannot help themselves.  We've all got to step up on this one. 

Craig:  Hope you're able to help them somehow....

Sharon:  Glad to hear it Sharon...whatever any of us can do will be important.  Hope you have a great week, too.
