11. 3 Million people have been affected by this earthquake. 1.5 million are homeless, with nowhere to sleep, and nothing to eat or drink. They’ve lost everything.

12. Thousands require medical attention and cannot reach it. Medical supplies are limited and since hospitals are destroyed they cannot be treated for their injuries.

14. Over 200,000 people have died and they are predicting many more deaths. Dead bodies are piled on the sidewalks and there are thousands that are trapped under the concrete and rubble that still need assistance.

15. They are preparing a mass grave. Since the graveyards are full, they have had to create mass graves where they will bury hundreds of bodies at one time. They have no other option as the bodies start to decompose diseases will outbreak.

26. My Campaign To Help Haiti On Behalf of The Red Cross

27. The reason I want to help Haiti is because so many lives have been lost, and many people have been injured. Its very hard to see so many people helpless. I believe we can make a difference. This is our time to step in and make a difference as a group. I am collecting funds to help the victims of this devastating earthquake. Once I gather the funds I will send them to The American Red Cross that is situated in Port-au-Prince. The Red Cross will use the funds to buy medical supplies, water, blankets and basic necessities that are needed in Haiti. Haiti is a very poor country. 80% of the population lives below the poverty line. It’s our job to unite together and help our fellow man kind regardless of race, religion or color.

28. Please Join me in a prayer for the people of Haiti.Dear God; Please help the people of Haiti during this very difficult time. Please give them the strength and courage to deal with this devastating earthquake. Good Bless Haiti……AmenLet’s help rebuild Haiti.Dare To Make A Difference
