Fundraising Update 1/14/10 + Haiti Relief
Jan 14, 2010
We’re over $400! See the screenshot below. Work is underway in most villages, and we’ll have more news in the coming month with specifics about how the money will be directed towards the rebuilding of school. It’s not a lot, but every little bit helps. We also have one other fund-raising push before we close the drive in the form of a charity single that we’re releasing on Itunes. More on this later.
In the meantime, let’s talk Haiti: They project the death toll to be upwards of 50,000. I hope you will all take a moment, even if you can’t give financially, to say a prayer and think a kind, healing thought for the people of Haiti during this tremendously difficult time. First-hand accounts paint a pretty grim picture, and unlike us a few months ago, the Haiti government response over the past 3 days has been horrible, compared to the way that our people responded and the aid we were given from FEMA. People are truly suffering, and I’m reminded how so many strangers, black, white, yellow— everyone, took the time to care about us in our time of need. I know we are the kind of people who will respond with alofa and offer up a show of support and love, however small or big we can afford at the moment.
For those who can, here are some Red Cross donation links for those of you interested in helping with relief for victims of the Haiti disaster.
This one allows you to send $10 immediately by texting:
Here is a good Facebook portal for updates:
This is one is for the international disaster relief fund:
You can help the victims of countless crises, like the recent earthquake in Haiti, around the world each year by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, which will provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need. The American Red Cross honors donor intent. If you wish to designate your donation to a specific disaster, please do so at the time of your donation by mailing your donation with the designation to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, D.C. 20013 or to your local American Red Cross chapter.
