Haiti Relief

Just one of the many victims

Now is not the time to discuss banalities.  People are dying, many unnecessarily, some for the want of such basic life-sustaining requirements of clean water, food, shelter, and medical care.

We all have so much here our society.  Even those of us barely scraping by here in the USA have the chance at least of somewhere to sleep protected from the elements, something to eat, water to sip, and (heavens!) a bandage if we are cut.

This poor country, just 681 miles from Miami, has suffered enough over it’s tumultuous history.  No one should endure a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, but it’s made all that more devastating due to the crushing poverty of these proud, beautiful people.

Remember how we all felt after we saw the towers fall?  After Katrina?  Feel that love for your fellow man now and contribute.  Even $5, the cost of a footlong sub at a famous restaurant, will go farther than you could imagine

RIGHT NOW

Thank you and remember what Dr King said not too long ago:

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
