I attended my church’s Saturday evening service – we collectively pledged to give whatever we could afford – from the heart – there are 10′s of thousands(perhaps 100,000 or more) on the streets of Port-au-prince without food and water(help is on the way here) – my bills are paid for the rest of January and I have enough food in the house for a month or more – probably 2 months if I eat a Restricted Calorie Diet – so I have decided to donate all the money I would normally spend on groceries and household for the next month – also will walk around town as much as I can and donate the gas money I save –
the situation in Haiti is grave – A Dallas orthopedic surgeon and 30+ other surgeons flew a private jet into Haiti last evening – they are prepared to do MAJOR SURGERY on the streets because there are NO Hospital facilities available – plus – you won’t hear or see this in the news – all of the 4000 jailed prisoners are on the streets(if they survived) – raping, pillaging, killing – please give with your heart – I came home from church thinking how blessed I am for running water filtered for drinking, bathroom facilities, a roof over my head, a comfotable bed to sleep in, food for a month in the house – the Haitians have NOTHING !

I love the sheer amount of contribution people are moved to make with this tragedy.

Though money is very needed, there are also other ways to help. Meditating and visualizing can be a huge support to amplify the effectiveness of the healing and recovery efforts.

I’ve posted a Healing Haiti Meditation on my blog if anyone is inspired to add it into their donation efforts. It’s a great way to feel empowered in your own self as well.

For those of Religious faith, you can check with your church organization, also. The denomination I belong to is active over there and, in general, a higher percentage of your donation will reach the people in need when donated through your church than it will through a secular organization.

Hey JMo,

Thanks for posting this and getting involved.

I think what Bob is doing is great, and he has selected very reputable organizations which can provide immediate relief.

If your readers would like to learn more about Haiti, I’m now streaming my entire documentary “The Road To Fondwa” for free at http://fondwa.org.

(You can also stream it from here if you like.)

Keep it up man, thanks.
