........due to the onslaught of Hurricanes Gustav, Hanna, and Ike, plus Tropical Storm Fay, is now over 1,000 people. At least 14,000 homes have been destroyed, and 800,000 people are without food, water, and/or shelter. The death toll is sure to rise higher as rescuers reach more remote flooded areas in coming days. The economic impact of the disaster is projected to be greater than the 2004 devastation wrought by Hurricane Jeanne, which killed over 2,000 people. Haiti needs all the help it can get.

The two links below (Lambi Fund and Food for the Poor) continuously assist Haiti:

Please help if you can.

    Thanks for the links, poor mites, these pictures really hit home the true devistation the hurricane has left behind.

    It'll take months and a lot of cash injection to get up and running again.
