You can't imagine when people are starving and anarchy begins to take root. Could have been the prisoners that escaped the prison that completely collapsed in the earthquake. Thousands of murderers, rapists, assasins, thieves, etc. are now free and terrorizing the helpless. Make the $10 donation. You'll feel better about yourself!
Text "Haiti" To 90999 and it will just be added to your phone bill. It's easy, quick and automatic. Do the right thing!
Haiti is the asshole of the Western Hemisphere.
Poverty, corruption, little education.
Money isn't gonna change a thing.
Papa Doc, Baby Doc.....it will never end.
Everything has to be goods and doled out.
When International Aid leaves it will revert back to the shithole it is.
I feel very sorry for the people who live there.

i agree that we need to do more at home, i feel it's a disgrace the way some people have been forgotten in this country (particularly vets). BUT we do have the ways and means to help people both foreign and domestic... that's what makes this country great. the only problem is we don't always choose to do it.
Correct. If food were dropped in the government would find a way to confiscate it and sell it back to the people. That's how they've been doing things for quite a while down there.
It isn't just a band of rogue thugs who may have escaped from prison. It's the way the whole island operates under the thumb of the dictator.
My pastor at my church yesterday had a direct connection to a Hatai Relief Fund and no it was not to his hip pocket. If we donated it would go directly to the Relief Effort and not have in his words "Any Administrative Charges" deducted off the top. I trusted his jugement and his integrity so I gave $20. I figure you can get a case of bottle water at any dollar store for about $3 and some change so I felt like I donated six cases of bottled water or 144 individual bottles of water.
right, because issues outside our borders don't affect us... oh, wait.
i'm not sure about you, but I had $20 that i felt I could live without, and I imagine a lot of other folks do too - so if your argument is we don't have the money to help others (be they domestic, or otherwise) i would disagree. even better, the $20 i gave to the fund for haiti won't stop me from continuing to give to local issues.
