My heart and prayers go out to those effected by this tragic event and as painful as it is to see these photos I'm hoping that as rich a nation that we are we can make a huge difference. I remember when my "okay" house burned down December 16th, 2008 we lost almost everything. But through donations, insurance, and restoration our house is better than it was before. My point is that sometimes it takes a disaster to open the eyes of others and to make a difference.

How You Can Help:
The Red Cross started a program today allowing the public to donate $10 by texting “Haiti” to 90999. Music artist Wyclef Jean is also running a mobile donation campaign for his charity Yele. If you text ‘Yele’ to 501 501, $5 dollars will be donated. Both programs automatically add the charges to your cellphone bill.
Also, if you have clothing that you cannot fit or do not wear anymore please don't throw it away! Call the Salvation Army. What you may consider "trash" could be someone else's "treasure"
Please be careful of online relief and charity scams! It's sad that people would even try to take advantage of the disaster by running false charities.
