Devastating Earthquake Hits Haiti - Humanity First action

[Julie Caldwell]

Humanity First USA has stepped up to help those impacted by the Hati  
quake (financial donations) They have a proven track record for  
immediate relief service with a focus on food aid, water, sanitation,  
medical assistance, and emotional support.

I send also send prayers to the folks impacted by the 6.5 quake, in  
Erueka (Northern California Coast), where 26,000 people were shaken  
and threated by a Tsunami only four days prior to the Hati quake:

No lost lives, however lots of broken glass, and lost property.

Love,
Julie

> populated region 17 km from the capital city of Port-au-Prince.  
> Thousands are feared dead, many buildings have collapsed and the  
> under-developed infrastructure has been severely damaged. The island  
> has never experienced an earthquake of this intensity before and  
> sadly, the death toll following this destructive event is expected  
> to rise.
