2010 Earthquake to Haiti – Providing Emergency Aid

When you work for Giving Children Hope you understand that disaster relief just comes with the job. It’s what we do. But some disasters are more difficult than others. The earthquake in Haiti is one of the more difficult ones.

Reports are ranging anywhere from 100,000 to 500,000 people have been killed. The photos are horrific. My heart aches and I can’t fight the tears. Why? There are never answers to why. I feel fortunate that I work in an environment that is poised to help however we can.

I was thankful to hear this morning that our friends from Mission Viejo Christian Church who just left to go work in the orphanages are safe. They are thrown into relief mode as they work to care for those trapped and in pain.

GCHope began our efforts to put together medicines and supplies to immediately get to disaster areas. We are shipping everything from penicillin to water purification tablets.

If you’d like to help Haiti you can. The most important thing you can do is to pray for those on the ground. The needs are great. If you’d like to make a financial contribution to relief efforts you can do so here You can also come to our offices and volunteer.

In times like these it’s important to focus on what we can do to serve those in need.
