Haiti

Glen and I heard about Haiti when we stopped to eat on our way to Nebraska. I feel so bad for those people.

Our church (Assembly of God) has an organization called Convoy of Hope that is somewhat like the Red Cross. They are already there to supply things that are needed. I know that they take very little out of what you send for administrative fees, even at times sending 100%. That's something that keeps me from donating to other organizations so if you're interested in making a donation to Haiti this would be a really good place to donate.

I have and will continue to pray for these poor people. God love them! It is so sad. Their little country just wasn't prepared for a disaster of any kind must less one of this magnitude! It is just horrible! Makes you just want to pick up the little children and get them out of there!

They need so much help! They were so poor to begin with, and now need more resources than most. It is heartbreaking to watch this unfold on TV.

It is encouraging that so many people are pitching in to help though. Some celebs have donated a lot of money, people are going there to help, and many people are donating money. Although we all wish this had never happened, at least seeing people coming together much more than ever is good. This is the way it is supposed to be.

It is almost too sad for words. So many people are helping in so many ways - what a wonderful place the world can be.

Very sad these poor people had nothing to begin with and now with this tragedy . I cry each and everytime I watch the news. God bless them and the people who are there to help them.

It's such a terrible tragedy. I was waiting for payday to donate to the Red Cross, so I'll be doing that this week. From what I was reading last week, it looks like Canada is trying to fast-track the immigration process for people from Haiti. I was so disgusted with comments from people who don't want to waste their tax dollars on that What happened to compassion?

We had a friend of our church, Tim Enloe, contact our pastor and we are paying for a water purifier to be taken to Haiti. It's suppose to clean waste water and make it drinkable.....I know that sounds awful but water is water.....it will produce 500 gallons an hour. He's leaving today to take it over. I always make donations through our church because I'm assured that very little, if any, is taken out for administration fees like other organizations.
