On Tuesday, a 7.1 earthquake left Haiti devastated, particularly the capital of Port-au-Prince. The quake left collapsed buildings, the dead stacked on city streets, thousands of homeless and people digging through the rubble with their barehands in search of loved ones. While there is no official death toll, it’s expected to be in the hundreds of thousands.
Our friends at Rainbow World Fund have been supporting ongoing projects in Haiti since 2004 by improving nutrition and working to make drinking water safe.
We call upon you now to be a part of the LGBT community’s emergency response efforts. You can make a difference. Rainbow World Fund originally committed $50,000 to the relief effort. It is our hope that through your generousity and sharing this story with your personal networks that we can multiply this aid several times. Please forward this to all your friends, post it on your Facebook, MySpace and Twitter accounts. Let’s make a big impact in a country so desperately in need of what we have to offer.
The wonderful organization CARE is already on the ground providing emergency food, safe water, plastic for shelter, blankets and basic medicine. Best of all, 100 percent of your donation goes to disaster relief. Whether you have 10 dollar or 10,000 dollars, you can make a huge impact.
