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.

I donated through the Red Cross, which is what the news shows suggested as being honest, and not taking out much in administrative fees. I'm glad I did, but I had to unsubscribe from their email list because I got an email every day asking for donations!

Diana, the water purifier sounds like a wonderful thing to give. They must have water to live.

It's something that's been used in Africa so I'm sure that it will work wonderfully in Haiti. Tim is going to stay and make sure that it's all set up before he comes home and it will be connected with a church organization down there.

Now they had a very bad aftershock! It is so hard to imagine that such suffering is going on.

A group of 60 some odd children were brought to Philly. Quite a few of these children had already been adopted before the quake. There are some American students I don't think were found yet. Their parents were on TV, and it was too heartbreaking to really think about.

It is so wonderful that the rescue workers are STILL find people alive....such a miracle after all this time. Seeing the children on the news is just heartbreaking. Did you all see the news when they pulled this little boy out of the rubble and he stretched out his arms? My tears just fell.
