Please join me in helping the people of Haiti
Hey fans,
I’m writing in hopes that I can rally more support to help the people of Haiti. CleRenda
and I donated to Unicef, and I’m encouraging all of you to do what you can to help too.
The following sites are collecting money and other necessities to assist the people of
Haiti. Do you what you can. We are all in this together and right now they need our help

“Hundreds of thousands of people have died in Haiti’s earthquake” – Haiti Prime Minister
Please remember! This number is just from the earthquake itself – Frequently what kills people in these disasters isn’t just nature but is interconnection with poverty, and in
Haiti it’s imperative to arrange not only the earthquake response — digging people out of rubble — but also a public health response by controlling disease and assuring access to clean water for survivors.
Below is a list with suggestions of ways we can help. I would suggest donating online as the lines will be jammed right now:
•The American Red Cross is pledging an initial $200,000 to assist communities impacted by this earthquake. They expect to provide immediate needs for food, water, temporary shelter,
medical services and emotional support. They are accepting donations through their International Response Fund.

•UNICEF has issued a statement that “Children are always the most vulnerable population in any natural disaster, and UNICEF is there for them.” UNICEF requests donations for relief for children in Haiti via their Haiti Earthquake Fund. You can also call 1-800-4UNICEF.
Unicefusa.org
•Donate through Wyclef Jean’s foundation, Yele Haiti. Text “Yele” to 501501 and $5 will be charged to your phone bill and given to relief
projects through the organization.
•Operation USA is appealing for donations of funds from the public and corporate donations in bulk of health care materials, water purification supplies and food supplements which it will ship to the region from its base in the Port of Los Angeles. Donate online at opusa.org by phone at 1-800-678-7255 or, by check made out to
Operation USA, 3617 Hayden Ave, Suite A, Culver City, CA 90232.
