Here's a snip from an email I recieved two days after the earthquake"


"Mr. Shelby said one Illinois Baptist was already scheduled to help
provide food for Haiti. * "Illinois disaster relief committed some
time ago to use one of our semi trucks to transport 20 tons of food to
Miami for a Christian relief agency called Hope for the Children of
Haiti," Shelby said. ..."


So far the donations have been doubled.


My parish had adopted a Haitian parish a couple of decades ago. We've
been supporting them for years with missions and cash. The most
interesting part is that when you go on a mission, to help the
parishioners, you go loaded with luggage but, when you come back you
return with just the clothes on your back.


Yep!
