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.

From the Clinton Bush Haiti Find Website (See, you could have read this over there.)

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.

In the aftermath of the disaster, President Barack Obama asked President Bill Clinton and President George W. Bush to raise funds for immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts to help those who are most in need of food, water, shelter, medical care, and support. In response, the two Presidents established the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund (CBHF) to identify and fulfill unmet needs in the region, foster economic opportunity, improve the quality of life of those affected over the long term, and assist the people of Haiti as they rebuild their lives and country.

Presidents Clinton and Bush oversee the CBHF through their respective nonprofit organizations, the William J. Clinton Foundation and Communities Foundation of Texas. One hundred percent of the donations made to the Clinton Foundation go directly to relief efforts. Ninety-nine percent of the donations made to the Communities Foundation of Texas go directly to relief efforts.

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.

This earthquake in Haiti has done so much more terrible damage, and it did it to an area that is already poor. My neighbors still had their earthquake supplies like canned food, flashlights, and plenty of water. The streets were clear so local relief agencies were attending to the people who needed it most within a couple of days. And their were still some serious issues.

Right now, millions of people cannot live in their homes. The only food or water they may have is what they can scavenge. While different countries are moving in to help, there are still people without anything. They do not have a change of clothes, food, water, or medicine. They do not have a bed to sleep in. If this continues, more people will die from hunger, food, or disease.

Give Now to Haiti Relief – Get UP! Stand UP!

Even small donations add up. If a million of us give $5, $15, or $50 it will still be a huge gift. People are thirsty right now in Haiti, and $1 would buy a bottle of clean water. The good news here is that I tried to get to the Clinton Foundation Haiti Relief page yesterday and it was so busy I couldn’t get in. Hopefully that means a lot of people responded to President Clinton’s TV interview on CNN when he asked for donations.

So.. Get UP! Stand Up! And let’s help our neighbors too.
