Dear Friends,

If your heart has been broken as mine has, by the images coming out of Haiti there IS something you can do to help.

Here are two easy options:

Text the word HAITI to 45678 and you will make a $5 donation to the Canadian Salvation Army (the $5 is added to your phone bill)

Visit www.worldvision.ca to donate online

Today the Canadian government announced it will MATCH all individual Canadian donations to registered charities providing relief to earthquake victims in Haiti. Funds, which will be allocated to Canadian and international relief organizations already established in Haiti, will be matched up to a total of $50 million, International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda announced.

If you live in the U.S. TIME magazine has created a list of aid organizations you can donate to: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1953454,00.html

Please share what you can and pray for those affected.
