Haiti Needs All It Can Get

So I'm sure all or most of you know about the devastation that hit Haiti on January 12th. It was a 7.0 magnitude quake that hit just 10 miles from Porte-au-Prince and its 2million inhabitants, also sending 33 aftershocks with it. There are 3 million people in desperate need of help. The death is estimated at 45,00-50,000 people. 300,000 people have been left homeless. The people of Haiti are still digging through the rubble looking for survivors, most with their bare hands.
help:
People trying to reach a U.S. citizen in Haiti should call the U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Citizens Services, at 888-407-4747, or go to state.gov.
