It's heartbreaking.

I know I have nothing new to say that can make a person decide whether to do something to help out in Haiti or not. I'm not George Clooney, so I can't hold a telethon with my A-lister friends... I'm not a celebrity of any sort, so if I say I would send you a personalized video you wouldn't care.

If you want to do something, you probably will and if you don't ... well no matter what I say you probably won't.

BUT I like to think, that my friends and people that may or may not randomly visit this blog are also the kind of people that WOULD want to do something. SO, in order to make it easier for you, here are a few links to help you to give, support or go.

1. They are in desperate need of clean safe drinking water...Filterpure Water for life

2. I always appreciate how quickly World Vision mobilizes - World Vision Email

3. Doctors Without Borders seem to be Johnny on the Spot, I haven't donated through them before, but there are several people I respect very much who are big fans.

Doctors Without Borders

If you're wondering what to pray for... other than the obvious... The Port at Port-au-Prince was severely damaged, so that although aid is coming in... getting off boats is near impossible... air is the best option, but of course makes for more complications and large cargo planes can't deliver what a cargo ship can. So pray that much needed supplies can actually reach them.

Pray also that the false rumours that are driving people away from their homes, leading to looting will be stopped. Pray that God will give them peace and help them to discern the truth.

1. The situation in Haiti is catastrophic, and Filtepure is responding with clean water. We have heard from our group in Haiti and they are asking for filters. They say this... "Roman, Lubens, Paul Emanuel, Jean claude and families and Seb MP and I all OK. schmiliguen and Rony are in south away from earthquake. nobody hurt at MSH. no internet at house, house cracked but standing. Tell Charles. Roman couldn't get into factory this morning - we will try again this aftn to see if there are any intact ceramic filters we can distribute. Situation is chaotic, terrible number of deaths and severe injuries. Almost all medical supplies are gone, some people already out of water and food and many will be shortly. Pressure your government to get aid in here quickly."
2. "The need is staggering and the situation is getting worse. I see heart-breaking scenes of devastation and need all around me. Children without parents. Parents with injured children. And virtually no way to make them safe or well.
We need your help now—while the Canadian Government will match your donation!

Those who survived the quake need help urgently—food, water, shelter and more. Please give now. (AP)
One of our staff, Willard Metzger, was staying in Port-au-Prince when the earthquake hit. His hotel quickly became a makeshift hospital.
"Desperate parents tug on our shirts to help their children, but we are only guests here. We're not doctors. But we have bedsheets which we use as bandages. So we are the only ones to give them hope." "

3. "Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) medical teams in Port-au-Prince have been treating very large numbers of people who come to them with fractures, head injuries and other major trauma from the 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti’s capital on Jan. 12. Well over a thousand patients been through the four tented facilities that MSF has set up near the damaged buildings that it used to work in.
The main concern at the moment from the medical staff in those clinics is that the need for wound treatment and major surgery is overwhelming. One of the teams is moving into the major public hospital in the district of Cité Soleil, where MSF has worked previously. There is an operating theatre in that hospital, which will help the team cope with some of those cases. "
