Haiti Needs Us!!!

Hi Y'all! First I want to express my most heartfelt concern and condolences to everyone in Haiti and everyone with family members, and friends in Haiti. I've been sitting here watching all the coverage over the past few days wishing that I could do something to help these people, especially the children.... There are so many orphans in Haiti... Now there will be so many more. These people are suffering for basic necessities! Water, Antibiotics, Protein, BAND-AIDS, Gauze, Fuel... I'm addicted to the coverage... I can't stop watching CNN or BBC..... The images break my heart..

This morning the Smoking Gun said some horrible things about YELE, Wyclef's organization stating that he used funds for his own personal gain.YELE is one of the biggest NGOs (Non Government Organizations)....

Wyclef just released this video on YouTube and y'all... he's hella pissed! I'd be to if I was in Haiti for the past three days collecting bodies and digging through rubble and I came back to Miami to handle business, regroup and come home to allegation like that!





I feel like if I could get to Haiti and just go help DIG through rubble or help organize the logistics of getting basic necessities to people I would go do it. I know a lot is going on in Miami right now. I wish I could go to Miami and get involved and volunteer from there. I feel like a jerk sitting her watching it on TV.... I'm out of work I have the time and I want to help! I also think that I have an addiction to the media and I keep the news on 24/7 especially when there's a tragedy of this magnitude.

I still support YELE! I gave the article from the Smoking Gun the side eye anyways....
So please spread the word and help!

♥ Ways to Help Haiti ♥

If your in the Miami Today..

Yele also has a shop with cute tee's and tote bags! Since we like to shop, let's shop for a reason. Most of the tee's & baby items are made from organic materials.

 

Here are many other organizations that are also helping aid get to Haiti. Also be careful when giving donations! There are a lot of DOUCHE LORDS out there that capitalize on our giving nature when disaster strikes.
