On January 12, an intense 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook Haiti, with it's epicenter in the country's capital, Port-au-Prince. Countless buildings have fallen...houses have been destroyed...roads have collapsed...& many hospitals have been obliterated. As many as 3 million people have been affected by this tragedy, & over 500,000 men, women, & children have been reported dead.
What I consider to be the worst & scariest news in this situation is that the places the people need most at this moment - the hospitals & medical centers - have been engulfed by the quake. I can't fathom & grasp the idea of not having the facility that provides healing, care, & overall protection for the severely injured & sick. Not having the healers (nurses, doctors, surgeons, etc) to run to gives everyone a loss of hope.
The Doctors Without Borders Donation Fund is working it's hardest to bring some light back to Haiti. By clicking on the picture above, you can donate some $$$ that will go straight into support for sending emergency medical care & medicine, which are now almost non-existent, to the people who have suffered through this. Anything helps. Please help if you can.
Lord, protect the people of Haiti. Through this extremely frightening event, many have lost their loved ones & have therefore lost hope. Strengthen the people & let them see that the world is at their side & working as hard as possible to provide aid & hope. Bring the light back into the people's eyes & help them rebuild their country & their hearts.
Thank you all.
