As are most people, I have been struck with shock and horror as a first response to the tragedies in Haiti following the recent earthquake there. There simply are no words to describe the scenes and sounds coming across television, in print, and over the Internet as communications with that island nation are slowly reestablished.
Of course, there is a desperate need to flood the nation with medical treatment, money, food, and the basics to sustain the living as well as heal the sick. My wife and I are doing what little we are able through donations to our local church and national church organizations to which we belong. (Two of which are excellent relief agencies with people already “on the ground” when the earthquake hit.)
I urge you to carefully, prayerfully do all you can to help the people of Haiti in any possible way. Be careful, of course, to watch out for the many scammers who crawl out of their holes to take advantage of such human suffering. But there are many, many good charities and agencies you can find which will happily use all the aid you can give to help to folks of Haiti. Always good if you can help.
