Doctors Without Borders had all their hospitals collapse. UN building is gone. the arch-bishop of this Catholic country is dead. un-real.
pick a relief agency, research the agency, and send a donation.

Be careful...as Jimmy said, research the agency. There are a lot of jerks out there.

On his Christian Broadcasting Network show yesterday, Rev. Pat Robertson said that the nation of Haiti has been devastated by a large earthquake because its people "made a pact with the devil."

"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it," Robertson said. "They were under the heel of the French ... and they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you'll get us free from the French.'"

"True story," he continued. "And the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal.' Ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after another."

Nice history lesson. save it for later. if robertson said that, it's on him. people are dying there and they bleed red just like you and I. I'm helping and I hope others will.

Block by block, in Haiti, gangsters rule. Remember Baby Doc? Yes, I believe he sold his soul to the Devil. US Gov has sent BILLIONS of dollars and all went to the hands of the extreme corrupt. The Red Cross has a hard time getting to the poor. The Catholic Church seems to work under the radar in Haiti without making waves with the corrupt people. They will vaccinate, feed, comfort the weak. They will also convince local gov thugs to let in others to assist. The Catholics are truly some of the bravest people doing work no one else will. I would send money to the Catholic Church.
