Succor

<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;">I have not forgotten Hurricane Katrina and how it devastated Louisiana. I remember feeling ashamed and dumb stuck at my own country's inability to allow others to help. I am still stunned by how inadequate our own response was and how to this day, people continue to suffer. I recall it now because of the exponentially worse but no less horrific case of Haiti. I made a donation for both, as well as the Indonesian tsunami. We must do what we can. From here - watching, it does seem that whatever powers there are in Haiti, they are not too proud or too cruel to let others in and for that I am grateful. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;">I chose this time, to make my donation to the charity below.
