As you know, the citizens of Haiti are currently dealing with devastation and suffering that few of us can imagine. The major earthquake this past Tuesday has reduced large parts of the the country's capitol, Port Au Prince, to rubble and has devastated an already poor infrastructure making the task of delivering aid extremely difficult. The port has been ruined and the airport is overwhelmed, but aid is starting to arrive with the USA and other nations giving support and relief.
Official estimates from are that nearly 3 million people have been affected by this disaster and that between 15,000 to 50,000 people possible are dead, with many more at risk of dying. Now's the time for you to donate and ask your blog's readers to donate to organizations providing aid to Haiti. Use your blog or website to motivate others to give. It will take you only a few minutes to add a donation widget to your blog to remind people.
One of the organizations we regularly support is Doctors Without Borders. A worldwide group that is in the regional and in a good position to provide immeditae, critical medical care to people affected by the disaster. You can easily add one of their donation widgets as we have.
