Haiti Relief

As many of you have probably already heard, on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 a massive Earthquake occurred in Haiti. Their capital, Port Au Prince has been destroyed with hospitals, homes, and major buildings collapsing. According to CNN, 100,000 have been confirmed dead, with a possible hundreds of thousands more missing and feared a casualty. For those who did survive, the city is in ruins and they have no where to go, and nothing to survive with. We, as a humanitarian organization cannot stand back when we are just a few hundred miles from this disaster. We have decided that the best way for us to help is to join forces with other mission groups in our area. We are collecting supplies and funds to purchase the items that will be sent to the earthquake area. The supplies being sent are sheets, towels, clothing, shoes, and the basic essentials. We are keeping in mind here that people's homes have been completely destroyed.
If you are interested in donating to the Haiti relief cause, please do so by making a donation through PAYPAL. There is a link on our blog and our website to do so, and please include a note with the donation, "For Haiti". Thank you.
