Clinton Bush Haiti Relief

I would urge all of you to make a stop at the Clinton Bush Haiti Relief Fund Website. You will be able to learn more about the scope of this disaster, what government and charity groups need to help, and what you can do. The website does urge visitors to make a donation, but even smaller amounts of cash can help. If you can spare $25 or $50, it probably will not change your life that much. But that money, multiplied by all the other donations, can save a lot of lives.
