Hey, Boo made a guild announcement about Haiti, so I thought it should at least have a thread in here. Anyone is free to add pictures and so on and so forth.

In case you don't know, Haiti was already one of the poorest countries in the world with a severe lack of food, water, clothing, and other basic necesities. Tuesday, January 12, a 7.0 earthquake hit and devastated the country.
Durring such a crisis, the world has given generously, but it is not the giving that is the problem. There are ships filled with greatly needed supplies that are unable to reach the country due to the devastation.

I heard a story about a little girl trapped under a tremendous pile of debree for days while people worked to get her out.
I have several classmates with families and homes in Haiti. The situation is very drastic and real. The country could greatly use your prayers to whichever god(s) you pray to. There are several agencies accepting money to send to Haiti as well. While a few dollars seems minescule compared to the damage and the fact that supplies are unable to make it to the country, any bit you could possibly have to spare could add up and make a difference.

Update: Recently, there was quite an aftershock, causing further devastation.

Students and professors from Lynn university were at Haiti on a mission trip, and a few students and a couple of professors are still missing. They were all staying at a huge hotel, which has been leveled like a pancake.
It is very heartbreaking to see the parents of the missing students.
Remember to keeo them in your prayers, too.

Update:

I believe in miracles. I especially believe in miracles that still happen.
How long can the human body survive without water?
Anyone will tell you "three days."

Two children trapped under rubble were rescued. They had been without water for, not four, or even five, but eight days.
Severely dehydrated, but still alive. =D

Thanks for posting this- I've been lazy.

Another great way to donate to help Haiti is on the 24th [tomorrow!], the day of the Monster Ball in NY. If you buy something from the Lady Gaga website, all proceeds will go directly to Haiti. Hoorah for Gaga!

Theres also a great support Haiti shirt on her website with proceeds going to Haiti, any time you buy it.

Make sure to check it out!
