Hope for Haiti

Many of you know that on January 12, 2010 at 4:53 pm a 7.0 Earthquake occured in Haiti. Immediately schools, houses, the Capital in Port Au Prince, and many other buildings came tumbling down. There were 28 aftershocks that were about 4.0. The world that the Haitians knew was no longer there. All was left was bricks and fallen buildings. Within seconds people scattered all over trying to find their loved ones and make sure they were okay. Unfortunately many adults and children were trapped under buildings. At the moment, over 200,000 people have died and the numbers continue to rise. When I first heard the news I was in total shock of the situation. I couldnt imagine what occured within those minutes. It saddened me to the furthest degree. I couldnt stand to see all those people scattered all across the land. I was asking myself how I would feel if I ever had to endure such thing. Honestly, I dont think I would have had the strength that they had. Haiti has gone through many tragedies and this just put the icing on the cake. My heart goes out to all the victims and the victims' families. Through this all the Haitians are still having the strength to overcome. Last night I watched "Hope for Haiti" which was a starstudded telethon to help raise money for many charities that donate and help out Haiti. It was amazing to see all those stars working together to help out those in need. Its amazing to see how the world is coming together to help Haiti. Thats how it should be...the world should come together! I know this is pretty random but I wonder what Michael Jackson would have done for Haiti if he was living?? Well I can answer that...He would have given all he possibly could and then some. I know hes looking down on the people of Haiti right now though! Everyone should donate to help Haiti. It doesnt have to be much at all. Just give something...anything. At this time...they need EVERYONE's help! Theres millions of people in the United States alone, just think of over half of the U.S. gave $10. That would bge great! Haitians are in need of shelter, food, clothes, and medical attention. Many children lost their parents so orphanages are in need also. Lets continue to pray for Haiti and hope they do overcome this tragedy!!!
