Haitian Earthquake

2010
On January 12th, 2010, a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the impoverished island nation of Haiti. The earthquake caused catastrophic damages and massive fatalities. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti and the rescue and aid workers from all over the world who have rushed to their aid.
This tragedy has been called “the worst humanitarian crisis in decades” by The Secretary General of the UN. There is an immense need for emergency humanitarian aid in the form of water, food and medication. Your donations are urgently needed to help the people of Haiti; The Federal Government has announced that it will match the contributions of individuals to eligible Canadian charitable organizations.
