Yesterday’s 7.0 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, left a humanitarian disaster in its wake. Many people are still buried in rubble. Others urgently need medical help. Lost homes, collapsed infrastructure, and loss of food and water are other imminent threats facing people after the earthquake.
I donated to UNICEF to help disaster relief in Haiti, but many other charities are putting their best resources out, as well. Please see if you have a donation, no matter how small, for any of the charities below.
