Haiti

25 Jan

On 12 January 2010, Haiti’s Capital, Port-au-Prince was hit by an 7.0mW earthquake, devastating millions in an already devastated country.

For slightly more than a week, we’ve been seeing the images of the destruction in the news.  You might think that the disasters of the past few years have numbed me but I can’t just look past all the pictures of pain and not feel anything. Honestly, it rips away at my heart. I wish I could be there to ease their anguish; to be a comfort. Millions have been forced out of their homes to live in large and often overcrowded refugee camps.

You know, those people who died? Think about it. Not long ago they were eating, working, breathing…living. Now their breath has left their bodies and they lie in mass graves. They were people with families, hopes and dreams. Life is so fleeting. One day we might be around, the next we might not.

But there is still hope. People all around the world are rallying together to donate and help these Haitians. There has been a global outpouring of help from various nations and the cash keeps coming in. People have been pulled out of the rubble, alive and kicking after 11 days.

Today, the survivors of the earthquake live. Tomorrow and in the future, they will be stronger than before. The human spirit will triumph.

On 3 Feburary, Subjectif will be selling badges to raise funds for the victims of the quake. Open up your hearts and wallets to give. Let’s help them rebuild. Thank you.

09S39 is holding a Fundraiser, and are giving away handmade golden ribbons for those who donate at least $1. Please support them too!
