This is somewhat depressing for my first post, but here it is.
If you haven't been hiding in a cave somewhere or underneath some rock, then you know that there was a devastating earthquake in Haiti that has taken many, many lives and has left even more victims without a home...
On that note, I urge those of you who are doing well or that have gotten a hand in the past to help out.
You can find ways to help by going to http://www.state.gov or http://www.whitehouse.gov
You can also text the word HAITI to 90999. That is a completely valid text number to the American Red Cross which will post a charge of $10 to your phone bill in order to help the cause. Or you can call 1-800-733-2767 to donate a little more or a little less...or to find other ways to help.
As demonstrated by Hurricane Katrina a couple of years ago, the United States is not out of harm's way. So pay it forward guys. You never know when you may need help.
Also, if you have family there you are concerned about, you can call 1-888-407-4747. They have started gathering a list of victims/survivors and those who have passed away during this awful tragedy. You can get more information about your loved one by calling that line but please have faith and be patient as today is the first day that they've had communication in Haiti.
