Haiti Needs Our Help....






By now all of you should be familiar with the devastation that took place on the Caribbean island of Haiti yesterday due to a huge 7.0 earthquake and the following aftershocks...

Deaths are estimated to reach the hundreds of thousands, there is no electricity in the entire city of Port-Au-Prince and entire families are sleeping on the streets side by side with the dead bodies that are stacking up there as well....

Despite wanting to donate money to have people like Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh slapped upside their dumbass head's more than anything, I'mma just join the sane folks out there and try my best to spread the word on how to help those people in Haiti who are in real need right now...


If you'd like to donate a lil' bit that might be able to go a long way, Text Yele to 501501 to donate $5 to the victims of this earthquake...if you'd like to use paypal or another online payment method to donate, visit yele.org, 100% of donations will go to the earthquake relief fund...

Right now The American Red Cross is allowing anyone to text HAITI to 90999 as an easy way to donate $10 to the recovery effort.

here are a few more organizations that are officially handling relief efforts:

CARE
Doctors Without Borders
Partners In Health
Save The Children
UNICEF

UPS just announced that they'll be joining the relief efforts as well, and will be shipping any package under 50 pounds free to Haiti

The U.S. State Department has released this number: 1-888-407-4747 for any information for people with loved ones in Haiti.


Good Luck and god bless to all of my Haitian brothers and sisters in this tremendous time of misfortune...We are thinking of you...
