Just fed my kids dinner... I cooked the food in the oven... they didn't like what I cooked... and wasted too much of it... I thought of the people in Haiti... I washed the dishes... the hot soapy water... made me think of the people in Haiti... It's so peaceful and comfy here in my "home"... the quiet makes me think of the people in Haiti... tonight... they need bandages and medicine... and water... blankets... and pillows... and water...
Tonight Hollywood will joins hearts and pockets together in hopes of helping our brothers and sisters in Haiti... While you watch the Hope for Haiti telethon tonight... please remember to do and to give what you can to help!
Haiti needs our help... so let's show them What Love Can Do!
I got a couple recommendations from friends of mine:
"Our law school classmate Kim was a Beyond Borders staff member living in a village in rural Haiti with a host family in 2007-2008. She saw PIH's work first hand there and highly recommended PIH to us for continuing Haiti donations. PIH has been working on the ground in Haiti for more than 20 years. Because of your donations, they have one more field hospital with 13 operating rooms up and running a/o this morning. They had electricity to this field hosp and operated all nite last nite for the first time since the quake." ~ Ruth
"If you are thinking of making a donation to an organization that is helping in Haiti, Partners in Health was suggested to me by another Bruce fan. Partners in Health is a rural health care organization in Haiti. It has about 10 hospitals outside Port au Prince. Their facilities are intact and operating. No, I have nothing to do with this organization. One of the founders of PIH was on the 60 Minutes segment on Haiti last night. If you watched that segment, it is probably indelibly burned into memory; it was horrific." ~ Karen
Here is the link if you would like to support their efforts:Partners in Health
In this massive world of the Internet... with multitudes of blogs to sort through... all reaching out to the masses... pouring out vast amounts of knowledge to literally thousands of readers... with site meters registering numbers as egos are fed... I have to stop myself from being sucked into the vacuum of blogging for numbers.
