HAITI Earthquake Relief
Posted Sunday, 24 January 2010 By Phil Downe
This past January 12, 2010 at 4:53 PM an earthquake of catastrophic proportion struck the small Caribbean island nation of Haiti. Port-au-Prince, the heavily populated capital of this impoverished country was absolutely devastated. The death toll to date is in excess of 150,000 with hundreds of thousands more in desperate need of food, water, medicine and shelter. There has never been a louder cry-out for help.
Canada’s response so far has been overwhelming and our UCR membership at large as well, all want to do their part to help out the victims of this disaster. We have considered several options but rather than establish another redundant fund-raising campaign, your UCR officers and directors encourage you to make use of the myriad of Haitian Earthquake Relief options that have already been established throughout the Greater Toronto Area and help ease the suffering of those whom have no means to help themselves.
