I have said before, in every crisis there is an opportunity. And this crisis is no exception.   In these times we are all called to be compassionate, and today, for Haiti, I hope you’ll be as generous as possible. 

That is why I sent my donation to Oxfam.  In this extreme time of need for Haiti, I ask that you do the same.  As Haitians suffer tremendously right now, Oxfam is there helping them. 

Please go to their website and give:

I worked at Oxfam for a decade and Oxfam is the best organization on the ground. They already have close to 200 staff in Haiti, including a special emergency response team. As Robert Fox, executive director of Oxfam says:  “When you send your gift, you’ll save lives. That's a simple fact. Your gift means life. Please send your gift today. And let me assure you, that even when the emergency is over, Oxfam will be there to help the people of Haiti rebuild their lives.”

Thanks for caring.
