The more we learn of the horrors of what has happened to Haiti, the more the apparent the need becomes. 10,000 bodies buried in mass graves each day. I can’t imagine this in wartime, much less in a time of peace. Just watching the pictures, seeing our military out on that grass at the airport, bringing those planes in…because that is how the relief is going to get in…one of the only ways.
There is so much talent. Hollywood and the music industry are to be commended for giving of their time for this behemoth humanitarian effort. It is hard not to drown the keyboard watching the victims. Bruce Springsteen made me head for paypal again. No more whining over the horrible ass-whupping from the stock market this week. My family has so much more than those poor people.
Many people in this country want to give and give a lot when they see the pain and suffering beyond anything most of us have ever known of , much less experienced. It isn’t possible for everyone. We have a friend who just wants people to pray for his granddaughter’s aunt. They just found her yesterday. They think she is ok. So maybe if you know someone who can’t write endless checks, ask them to pray for little Miss S’s aunt.
Maybe this is the time to say thank you to our military, and to those rescue crews and to those volunteers who dropped everything on a dime and raced to Haiti to help people they don’t even know.
I am sort of a salty old dog but I can’t say any more. This is just too much. The entertainment is totally awesome.

Hi, my name is Gabriella Sainvil and im 12 years old. Im african-american. My dad was born in Port-au-prince,Haiti and came to america in years ago. He says its a blessing to be here. Now, you may be wondering, why isn’t bad dad saying this stuff? Why isn’t he talking for himself? Well that’s because i’m proud to be the daughter of a haitian dad because he was able to make it here safe and sound. My dad was missing some family in Haiti and he finally found them just two days ago…..safe and sound!!! Im very happy. But people, just because you found YOUR family, doesn’t mean you should stop helping or just go on about your lives. We can do it! We can help this people! Keep going! Don’t give up! GO,GO,GO,GO,! Wait if you were in Haiti 10 years ago and everyone was ignoring YOU!? You would be so dissapointed that everyone was ignoring the poorest country and not helping, but now, your getting the most you you can get! Stay strong haitians, stay strong! We are coming, we are coming, we are coming! Don’t give up because help is on its way. Please, please.
This is our (haiti’s) last chance to make our country what we always wanted it to be:better than america itself. This is our last chance to be a strong country and stand together and fight for lives! DONT GIVE UP, DONT GIVE UP, DONT GIVE UP!!!! please!go and believe!………..i love you all donate what you can. Even if it’s just a dime, atleast you care and spare your time to give something that comes from the heart.
