Help in Haiti
I’m sure you’ve heard about the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Please consider donating to an organization to help these poor people out. I donated to Doctors without Borders (an organization Bear has considered joining after finishing med school). As that CNN article says, “The hospitals are gone” and “medical supplies and heavy equipment are desperately needed”.
Louise Ivers, the clinical director of the aid group Partners in Health, said in an e-mail to her colleagues: “Port-au-Prince is devastated, lot of deaths. SOS. SOS . . . Temporary field hospital by us at UNDP needs supplies, pain meds, bandages. Please help us.”

You can also text a $10 donation to the Red Cross by texting HAITI to 90999. I’ve done it; so can you!
