A powerful 7.0 richtor scale earthquake has hit the country of Haiti's western coastal peninsula earlier, located in the Atlantic on the Island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic.. The earthquake is said to be catastrophic and the worst for the region in over 50 years. News is coming back that the damage and fatalities are immense and widespread. It is said that 3 million Haitians were subjected to the earthquake which initially hit 10 miles out of the capital city of Port-au-Prince followed by over a dozen powerful aftershocks measured at as high as 5.9 on the richtor scale.
Buildings have collapsed trapping and killing men, women and children of the impoverished nation. The country's Presidential palace has been destroyed.
With Haiti's limited resources and capabilities to respond as best as needed, calls for the help go out to anyone who wants to take the opportunity to do something and to help even as early as now. We need friends of Haiti to come out and give aid in anyway that they can.
You can donate $5 now to Haitians in need by donating to the Yélé organization. This charity is taking donations now by texting YELE to 501501. A $5 donation will be made through your phone by texting YELE to 501501.
Our prayers are with Haiti and any Haitian currently trapped and lost by this disaster or who knows somebody who maybe.
