Haiti Earthquake Relief




I made a difference in the world and so can you!


A massive, 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti near the capital of Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, January 12th. The damage to buildings is extensive and the number of injured or dead is estimated to be in the hundreds, even thousands. World Vision is on the ground rushing emergency supplies to survivors of this catastrophe.


Your gift now will help distribute life-saving relief supplies – including food, clean water, blankets, and tents -- to children and families devastated by the earthquake and aftershocks in Haiti.


“We would be very concerned about a quake of this magnitude anywhere in the world, but it is especially devastating in Haiti, where people are acutely vulnerable because of poor infrastructure and extreme poverty,” said Edward Brown, World Vision’s relief director in the United States.


World Vision has worked in Haiti for 30 years and has some 800 staff in country. Please join us in praying for the children and families devastated by the earthquake in Haiti. And please send a generous gift to help them today.


I made a donation to World Vision to help someone overcome poverty. It was easy to find the right donation opportunity with over 100 ways to give. It only takes a few minutes to make a difference in our world. I encourage you to go experience it for yourself today!

Linda Filha!!!
Continua divulgando como fazer, para que o mundo seja menos mau, a começar sempre pelos mais vulneráveis.
Um "Viva" enorme por todos os que largam o seu bem-estar e as suas terras e vão no 1º avião para o Haiti, ajudar no que se torna urgente.
Um beijo da tua mamã
