Please Donate to Earthquake Relief in Haiti
Please give as much money as you can afford (or more) to Earthquake Relief in Haiti. I donated to Partners in Health, which is one of most amazing health organizations in the world and grew out of the work of Paul Farmer and others in Haiti decades ago. The situation in Haiti is already catastrophic and will quickly become even worse if the earthquake survivors do not receive food, water and medical attention very soon. People outside of Haiti can help the most right now by giving money to relief organizations.
Partners in Heath is a remarkable organization that has redefined health care for poor people around the world by treating poor patients in the same way that rich patients would expect to be treated. It’s a simple but revolutionary idea that all began in Haiti. Tracy Kidder tells the remarkable story of Paul Farmer and the founding of Partners in Health in his book Mountains Beyond Mountains. The Partners in Health Web site also contains great information about the organization’s mission and history.
Relief organizations need help right away, but even if you’re reading this long after the earthquake, Partners in Health and other organizations can always use your support. Thank you for donating what you can!
