About 15 hours ago Haiti the poorest country in the world was devastated by a 7.5 earthquake. Literally every hospital has been evacuated or destroyed. Almost every government building has been destroyed including the presidential palace and parliament. I was glued to my TV this morning as the photos and stories started to come in, it is totally shocking and sad.
I couldn’t help but wonder what I could do to help these people so I did some research and thought I would share.
I will try to keep this list updated in the coming days but here are some ways you can help.
The Red Cross already has a donation site up
The Salvation Army also has information on their site up
If you know a nurse that wants to help have them check out National Nurses United
Finally check out this Orphanage called Three Angels Children’s relief
The U.S. State department has a text program up Text “Haiti” to 90999 and automatically donate $10 (click link for details)

Please comment with other suggestions and ways to help.
