I’m sitting right now prepping for MOD today but I can’t focus. I’m just reading and watching what’s going on in Haiti. My heart goes out to them. I’m trying to comprehend what it would be like to live amongst that kind of devastation, but I can’t. I want to help, but I’m stuck here in Canada at the moment, so I’ll give what I can. And so can you. It’s an easy way to get involved and make a difference. If you don’t have money, then try giving some time. Find an organization, raise awareness, and spread the news to your friends and families. Do a bottle drive; call your grandparents, whatever you think. Talk to your school. This is an amazing opportunity to stand up, band together and do something good for a lot of people in need.

A lot of artists are gathering together and rallying for your support.

I’m going to donate now.

Here’s some info:

AN EARTHQUAKE MEASURING 7.0 STRUCK HAITI YESTERDAY SHORTLY BEFORE 5PM. OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE IN HAITI HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE MASSIVE DAMAGE

MOST OF PORT-AU-PRINCE HAS BEEN DESTROYED AND GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS, SCHOOLS, HOMES AND PRISONS HAVE ALL BEEN DEMOLISHED

HAITI IS ONE OF THE POOREST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT OVER 100,000 PEOPLE MAY HAVE DIED IN THE EARTHQUAKE

LAST NIGHT, CANADIAN OFFICIALS WORKED TO SEND AID TO THE PEOPLE IN HAITI. THE DISASTER ASSISTANCE RESPONSE TEAM IS ALREADY ON ROUTE

THIS EARTHQUAKE WAS THE WORST QUAKE TO STRIKE HAITI IN THE LAST 200 YEARS. THE DISASTER HAS AFFECTED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE LIVING IN THE COUNTRY
