For anyone who doesn't already know, yesterday Haiti was hit by a Magnitude 7.0 Earthquake, the epicenter located about 15km (9.3 miles) from Port-au-Prince, it's capital city.
The first pictures were sent back this morning, and the destruction is horrible. Entire buildings and shops have collapsed into rubble, some of the damaged structures include the Presidential Palace, the National Assembly Building, The Cathedral, and two UN Buildings.
As Haiti is an economically troubled country, it's emergency services face being overwhelmed by the aftermath. Initial reports state that at least 100,000 have died.
If you can send aid in any way shape or form, PLEASE do so. Those people really need our help.
My prayers go out to the people of Port-au-Prince. God be with them.

I do not pray for an easy life. I pray to be a stronger bird.

I was at a state convention thing for a school organization I'm in this weekend and where around $1500 was collected for Haiti relief. I donated a dollar.
