Sending prayers and love and money . . .

We are so grateful to be among the fortunate who are enjoying the comforts of a warm home and a good Sunday dinner. We are grateful that we are able to help in some small way. Wanting to help as much as possible as quickly as possible, we searched for agencies who are on the ground in Haiti offering direct disaster assistance. Here are a few suggestions for legitimate Canadian agencies offering aid to the people of Haiti right now. Doctors Without Borders; 1-800-982- 7908 online at www.msf.ca Donations can be made to the Canadian Red Cross online at redcross.ca/helpnow or toll-free at 1- 800-418-1111. The Humanitarian Coalition comprised of CARE Canada, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam-Quebec and Save the Children Canada, 1-800-464-9154 or www.thehumanitariancoalition.ca and World Vision; 1-800-268-5528 or www.worldvision.ca
