Haiti

If you want to do something but aren't quite sure how to help, I can recommend Doctors Without Borders http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/ . My friend Libby worked with them in Haiti last year laboring tirelessly to set up their medical supplies in a new hospital. All that work is now shattered in rubble. On the news I saw that the organization is currently treating patients in open parking lots. You can go to their website and in a few quick clicks, you can donate any amount of money. Even just $10 would help. All of us who are comfortably enjoying life as we surf the internet, have a nice meal, flush a toilet, and sleep in a comfy bed, should share a tiny bit with those who now have nothing.

Garrett's school had a "Hearts for Haiti" program. They hoped to raise $600 and were over $2,400 on Thursday. Lots of kids bringing $$ from their own piggy banks, very sweet.
