As most now know, the people of Haiti are under serious distress due to an earthquake that occurred late Tuesday afternoon. A friend recently informed me of three groups that are working to bring relief to Haitians:
-----------------------------
National Nurses United
"More than 1,500 registered nurses from across the U.S. have responded in less than one day to the call by the nation’s largest organization of registered nurses for volunteers to provide assistance to residents of earthquake devastated Haiti — leading the RNs to now issue an urgent appeal for the public to support these efforts with donations of funds to support travel costs and medical supplies on their upcoming emergency nursing mission.
Details are still being worked out, but those able to support the efforts of these nurses can get involved via: http://www.nationalnursesunited.org/
Support the RNRN/NNU disaster relief effort in Haiti by sending checks c/o
California Nurses Foundation
2000 Franklin St.
Oakland, CA 94612
Charitable contributions will be used to pay for travel/related costs and medical supplies for volunteer RNs on their emergency nursing mission in Haiti."
-----------------------------
Mercy Corps
"Mercy Corps is deploying an emergency response team to the island nation...Families need your help -- food, shelter and other supplies -- in the aftermath of the worst disaster to strike the region in years."
-----------------------------
Children's Hope
"Three of the major centers of our humanitarian work in Haiti, centered in PAP, are still not responsive and we are very concerned for the children and families...We are sending emergency funds starting tomorrow, and then as soon as pledges come in, since the need is urgent. We also really need to raise shipping money for the supplies already donated by a local hospital here (Marshall Hospital of Placerville [CA]) to send these supplies to Haiti. If you pledge, please remember to then send the check to Children's Hope. But please pledge now, so we can get new medicines ordered now, and help on the way.
Children's Hope
3025 A Cambridge Road
Cameron Park, CA 95682"

If you can help, please do so.
