The Crisis in Haiti

So I think that we all know what I am talking about in this Post. For anyone who doesn't just look around for the dozens of "help for Haiti" Signs.

My friends have been fairly sympathetic to the whole relief effort, but none of my friends really understand what is going, save maybe one or two, and I think that it's fair to let all the readers know what I want to say.

I'm Haitian descent. My mom spent the first seven years of her life in Haiti, and my grandmother is an immigrant from the island. I don't know what to say except that this catastrophe has shaken everyone in my family. There are those of us who seriously have know idea if some of our relatives are even alive.

But i noticed something. Living in the US my entire life, I remember what it was like nine years ago waking up to learn that i wasn't going to go to school that day because of the collapsing of the two towers. I remember spending the entire day afraid for my life, and the lives of my family in New York and on the East Coast. I was miserable. This time around, i'm very different.

"what can i do to help?"

you help is greatly appreciated
