Haiti Relief Fund

For anyone who frequents this blog, is a fan, or has just stumbled upon this page, please take a moment and reflect on what has occurred in Haiti.

There are moments in our lives when we can help those who cannot help themselves, most jump at the opportunity to help those in need. The situation in Haiti requires help from all, please forward this page to everyone you know. An event like this requires aid from the entire International Community.

If you can help, please donate to any of these organizations below. The country is in desperate need and can use all the help it can get.

Here are three ways you can help

1 - Donate your time, volunteer if you can
2 - Donate Blood

In this time of need, lets not be known as the generation who stood by and did nothing.
