On January 12th, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck near Haiti’s capital of Port-au-Prince, causing massive death and destruction. While the toll is only beginning to be understood, huge parts of the capital are in ruins and there are the eyewitness and news accounts of "total disaster" and chaos.
An estimated 3 million people are struggling with the aftermath of the earthquake. Current estimates of the death tolls from the Red Cross are over 45,000, and thousands more are living in the streets.
At this stage of the emergency response, the greatest priority is providing survivors with medical aid, food, shelter and other supplies. Your financial contribution will provide support for those in need. We encourage you to make a donation to a reputable organization. The American Institute of Philanthropy, a charity-watchdog group, has provided a list of top-rated Haiti relief organizations which you can access here, www.charitywatch.org/hottopics/Haiti.html.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
