Help Haiti

I am distraught over the human suffering taking place in Haiti.

I pray for comfort, compassion, restoration and healing.

I appreciate my warm home on a rainy day..oh so much more.

I’ve compiled a few resources of organizations doing work on the ground in Haiti. I prefer to give where I am not paying for administrative costs but my money goes directly to buy rice to put into someones mouth.  Check out the organizations before giving and please add other resources that can be helpful to others.  I am interested in how volunteers can go to Haiti. If you have info, let me know. I speak french and previously worked in the slums of India with UNDP.
