Why Care About the Clinton Bush Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund

You can just skip this and go right to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.  As a website owner, my mission is usually to keep people on my own website as long as possible. So please remember us and come back later!

But today, I am sending you off. You can head to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund website and  find plenty of information about this total calamity. In fact, you may have thought you knew what a calamity was, but this may bring new scope to that word.

Just like after watching Hurricane Katrina news, and my own experience with Hurricane Ike, this renews my faith in humanity while decreasing my faith in the power of any government, relief organization to step in and save people fast. But more money cannot hurt. Some prayers won’t hurt either.

The earthquake that rocked the coast of Haiti killed or injured a devastating number of people. Even more were left in need of aid, making this is one of the great humanitarian emergencies in the history of the Americas.

How to Help Haiti Earthquake Survivors

I found a website with a list of several aid agencies with Haiti Relief Funds. These are well known charities, and you can designation your donation to a particular relief effort. So make sure you designate your contribution to “Haiti Earthquake” if that’s where you want it to go.

Why Give Relief to Haiti Earthquake Survivors

Haiti is already the poorest country in the hemisphere, and they have endured their share of disasters. Some of these have been natural disasters like hurricanes, but many have been political upheavals. And yet this country has also spread a rich culture all over this part of the world, and many immigrants have contributed to the US.

It is tough to imagine the scope of this disaster. Estimates of the current death toll range from a few thousand to a hundred thousand to five hundred thousand. This is hard to imagine, and is certainly worse than anyrecent disasters that we thought were horrible. 

Having been through a hurricane while living in a middle class area of an affluent city (Near Houston), I saw a lot of damage. But after a couple of weeks of inconvenience, life went back to normal. But we were still shocked by the damage, but once the power came back on, we pretty much went back to our regular routines.
