The images are hard to escape, the world watches in horror as the people in Haiti continue to suffer. Just three days after the earthquake the death toll is already expected to be in the tens if not hundreds of thousands. It is estimated that this disaster has affected three million Haitians. Countless stories from all over the world continue to surface of lost and missing loved ones. International rescue efforts are underway to try and provide some kind of relief.
The international Red Cross has said that a third of Haiti’s 9 million people may need emergency assistance and at this point it is a race against time. Even though the images provide little hope, your efforts can and will make a difference. There are many ways to contribute and take action for those in Haiti however make sure that you are donating to a credible organization. The Cape Fear Chapter of the American Red Cross is accepting financial donations for the Haiti earthquake. Please contact your local Red Cross to contribute. Remember to keep the people of Haiti in your thoughts through this time of devastation.
