Help Survivors of Quake in Haiti


 

Help earthquake victims in Haiti by providing funds for critical aid including water, food, shelter, and medical care.  Your donation will support organizations sending teams to provide emergency relief.

A massive 7.0 earthquake struck near Port-au-Prince, Haiti on January 12, 2010.  Three million people have been affected by the quake and its aftermath.  Reports estimate that over fifty thousand Haitians may be dead.  Nearly all of Port-au-Prince is either damaged or destroyed, including much needed hospitals and facilities to house the injured.  Emergency supplies such as food, water, medical supplies and clothing are desperately needed.  The organizations below need your help now to be able to provide assistance in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
