You’ve likely heard the news about the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti recently. Our brothers and sisters in Haiti need your help. The powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck only 10 miles from Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital city and home to more than 2 million people, toppling the presidential palace and destroying the fragile homes where many Haitians live. Throughout the night and into the morning, powerful aftershocks, some as strong as 5.9 in magnitude, continued. Their homes destroyed, people are on the streets with no water, electricity or shelter. As residents of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, the people of Haiti desperately need our help. A large effort is needed, and Lutheran World Relief is responding through our partners on the ground. Please donate to our “Haiti Earthquake” relief effort today, and help LWR quickly and compassionately respond to this disaster. They will put your prayers and gifts to work immediately to save lives in Haiti. GIving money directly is the best way to help. Food and supplies cannot be delivered.
