I am glad that the two of us have open hearts. Honestly, it would be much easier to have calloused hearts because then seeing and hearing what is going on in Haiti would not hurt. If our hearts weren't invested then we would be free of the pain we feel. Instead our hearts ache with and for the people of Haiti. For probably the first time in my life I found myself admiring Bill Clinton (I know crazy, right!). He is the US Special envoy to Haiti. He actually really cares about Haiti. I caught him on CNN today talking about this disaster. He was saying the Haitians are people just like us. They are fellow humans on this planet not so different than us and they need our help. He was saying if you don't know who to send money to then send it to his foundation because he is using all of the money to immediately buy supplies that are needed. And he is right and he seems to genuinely care.
For our part we are trying to get the word out about what Northwest Haiti Christian Mission is doing. They are sending all of the medical supplies and medical staff they can down to PAP to help. They are using all of the money they raise to buy food and additional medical supplies. I have been impressed with my coworkers today who gave me over $100 so far to help after I sent out a mass email detailing why we care and what the need is.
Please continue to pray for Haiti.
