We all see the pictures on CNN of the devastation the earthquake wrought on Haiti and we all know deep down inside that even the horrors we see are those that are deemed appropriate for public viewing, and the realities of this situation are so much worse than the vast majority of us have experienced or will experience in our lives.

I have listed several charities below that are, in my opinion, the best to share what little we can when so much is so desperately needed.  Please consider helping the people of Haiti, most of whom have known nothing but desperation all their lives and are now living in horror we couldn’t even begin to imagine, and I’m afraid, has only just begun.
