A catastrophic earthquake hit Haiti late Tuesday afternoon, causing devastation as crowded hospitals, homes, and schools collapsed. This earthquake has resulted in widespread homelessness and dislocation to a population that was already the Western hemisphere’s poorest. Haiti’s consul general to the U.N. has estimated that as many as 100,000 people may have lost their lives, with thousands more injured.
Americans are a generous people. Haiti is in need of our prayers and our help. This is the time for us to stand together as a country, as individuals, and as people of faith to aid those in need.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti who are suffering beyond imagining. Please visit www.billygraham.org, http://crs.org/, or http://american.redcross.org/supporthaiti to contribute to the relief effort.
