                                                                                            Haiti
Death. Destruction
Holy Shit!!!

No room for snarky smartass-edness here. This is serious stuff. Just some info to pass:
American Red Cross
I put this organization at the top of the list. My wife, Donna, is a life member of the Red Cross Tiffany Circle Society of Women Leaders. The American Red Cross' primary focus during the initial response of an emergency is feeding, sheltering and supplying any other basic needs. To donate: Go to RedCross.org, hit donate now button at top and then International Response Fund. You also can text "Haiti" to 90999 to donate $10 to the International Response Fund. The money will go directly to relief efforts in Haiti. Or call 1-800-Red-Cross.

AmeriCares
This nonprofit disaster relief organization delivers medicine, medical supplies and aid to people in crisis around the world. To donate, call 1-800-486-HELP or go to AmeriCares.org. Donations will go toward medicine and medical supplies and for expenses for providing that medical aid.
Care
This humanitarian organization's main focus is to fight global poverty, specifically by empowering marginalized women and girls. To donate to the Haiti relief fund effort, go to Care.org or call 1-800-521-CARE. Money will go toward food, water and sanitation, shelter and emergency health response.

Operation USA
The international relief agency provides funding for reconstruction and development aid to communities that have experienced disasters, disease and poverty. For its Haiti relief efforts, the agency plans to use donations for health care materials, water purification supplies and food supplements. To donate, go to opusa.org or call 1-800-678-7255, or mail a check to Operation USA, 3617 Hayden Ave., Suite A, Culver City, CA 90232.
  • There is a Pittsburgh connection that I hope, by now, you are aware. Jamie and Ali McMutrie are a couple of special young ladies from Ben Avon who are running an orphanage in Port-au-Prince. Because I cannot possibly do the situation adequate justice, please let Ginny fill you in at thatschurch. WARNING: prepare to be affected.

Deal. Devil. Demented. Douchebag


Frankly, I don't even know what to say about this. It's that far out there.

A deal with the Devil? Really? The country's cursed? What?

And, just what's going through Christie's head while this whackjob is rambling?

Mind boggling.
