 Haiti Earthquake Relief-HELP DONATE HERE
"There is no Port-au-Prince anymore. No one can be there without crying. Everyone is suffering. So many hurt. So many dead. So many without food and water. No aid from the Port-au-Prince airport has reached the neighborhoods I've visited. There's nothing. Everyone is waiting. We are the first group to be able to provide any relief to the St. Clare's area. The need is so great. It's very complicated to distribute aid because there are thousands and thousands of people without food and water in the community. We started yesterday. You have to be careful and pass out the food and water safely and compassionately, involving members of the community in the distribution process. This is how it can work smoothly and help the most people. We haven't had any violence." more >>

They are taking care of each other, praying, singing, doing what they can to help one another survive..." more >>

 UPDATE: Haiti Earthquake Relief-HELP DONATE HERE
January 24, 2010
I spoke with Lavarice this afternoon and he told me that over 10,000 people came to the St. Clare's rectory in search of food and water yesterday. The crowd was so large they were not able to make a dent in providing the aid needed. Lavarice continues to put out calls to the UN and other nonprofits asking them to come to the area with tents, water, and food. Some additional aid has trickled in, but not at the pace that's needed. Thankfully, two more trucks full of food and water, paid for with your donations, arrived late last night from the Dominican Republic. Today, the distribution of aid was a little easier. more >>
