January 12, 2010 was a tragic day for millions across the world, as a 7.0 convulsion hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti, destroying monuments, hospitals, prisons and neighborhoods, taking the lives of more than 70,000 people.
While rescuers are frantically working to save the trapped and injured, wreckage and destroyed airports and roadways make relief efforts difficult to if at all possible. Haitians have taken it upon themselves to search for survivors. With little supplies, medicine and food, the death toll drastically increases daily.
The people of Haiti desperately needed aid from EVERYONE around the world. There are a number of non-profit organizations that are working to assist relief efforts with monetary funds and goods. Whatever you can contribute will help someone in a great way.
Here are a few creditable organizations that you can use to contribute what you can to the people of Haiti. Remember we are all brothers and sisters and we only have each other in the mist of crisis and ANYTHING you can do to help is worth giving.
