SITUATION IN HAITI IS DIRE FOLLOWING HURRICANES & FLOODS September 19, 2008
According to the U.N. there are approx. 800,000 people in need of help in Haiti following four recent storms which devastated the Caribbean nation. Tropical storms Fay and Hanna and hurricanes Gustav and Ike all hit Haiti in the span of one month killing more than 600 people and leaving behind a disaster that has practically destroyed the entire port city of Gonaives. Make a donation HERE to help those struggling in Haiti!
One week ago today hurricane Ike made landfall on Galveston, TX as a category two storm wiping out entire towns on the Bolivar Peninsula. Some residents cannot tell where their homes or their streets used to be.
DONATE to MFR to aid the recovery effort.
