I wanted to take some time to talk about something very serious. As many of you know Haiti was recently struck by a 7.0 powerful earthquake. To make matters even worse Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas prior to the quake which means a lot of their infrastructure and building codes are of poor quality. The result is massive devastation in the Port-au-Prince capital. The Presidential Palace has collapsed, the Parliament building also collapsed as well as it’s national cathedral, Early estimates are 45,000-55,000 deaths. This is a country roughly 700 miles off the coast of Florida. They are going to need massive international assistance. You can help in your own way through the many charities out there. Here are 2 that I want to share with you to contribute to. Lot of people may want to donate goods like can goods, water, etc. But what is needed most here is money. So please contribute whatever it is you can.
