A GREAT Haiti cause - Save the Children

As a parent I was particularly moved by their efforts as they focus on getting supplies to families, children in particular and setting up child friendly spaces for them to go.

Save the children is trying to set up child friendly spaces, particularly for the estimated thousands of orphaned children who are wandering the streets of Haiti. The organizations director said in an interview that ""They are sleeping on their own, trying to cope with the trauma of seeing dead bodies, and will have no idea where to go for help."

So if you havent already or are looking for a cause to donate to, as a parent this would be my pick. I would want someone to help my child if they were all alone in a disaster.

Its almost to heartbreaking to imagine..........

Re: A GREAT Haiti cause - Save the Children

Thank you !! I was literally in tears before..I was feeding the babies, thinking about how there are moms of newborns out there who cannot feed their babies and the pain for all of them. This is just so so sad...there are no words.

Re: A GREAT Haiti cause - Save the Children

welcome, I cant even think about the poor children without crying. Its takes on a whole new meaning once you have your own. You picture yourself there or you own child all alone.

Re: A GREAT Haiti cause - Save the Children

Thanks for sharing, I just donted! Wish I could do more .. .

I was saying to DH that if all these celebs.. that are millionaires all donated just 1 million to Haiti, things would prob sorta looking up! These Celebs have so much money.... they should all stop and donate... its the least they can do. We support them by watching their movies, listening to their music, buying dumb magazines... now they need to step up to the plate and make a difference!

Angie and Brad donated 1 Mil already!! Go them!

Re: A GREAT Haiti cause - Save the Children
