When I see the pictures on the news regarding Haiti....I can't but cry my eyes out. It's already a very poor country and then to see such tragedy and devastation. On NBC last night, they said 9 million people live there with about 2 million in Port au Prince, the capitol city where the earthquake hit. 4 out of 5 people live in poverty there.

So......I know times are tough but nothing can be worse than having no water in 90 degree heat or a child alone in the streets because he/she does not know where their mom or dad is. That breaks my heart into a billion pieces.
There are many ways to donate....please choose your favorite. Even if it's only $2 or $5 or even $10!!! I'm sure every last dollar can be used for relief. Here is a brief list from MSNBC.com. Click HERE to see the article and the websites of each of these agencies.
