Please Help.
Hey, everyone.
I’m working on a bunch of posts right now on a variety of subjects, but it seems more important right now to send you a link to a way to help the people of Haiti.
My Uncle Dave has been working in Haiti for years with his organization, Hope International — primarily with hospitals and orphanages — and they’re currently reaching out to help the people in crisis there now, after the earthquake a week and a half or so ago. My dad and my Uncle Dale are on the board of this organization, too (which tells you that people I love and trust are behind this effort.)
I would ask you to give to Hope, because I have confidence that they are sending money directly to the people of Haiti, rather than tying it up in dubious “administrative” deductions.
You might have some discomfort with the faith-based nature of this organization. But I don’t at all, since I share this same faith.
My dad spoke with my Uncle Dave tonight, and he has confirmed that 100% of what you donate will go straight to the people in Haiti. That’s what puts my heart behind their efforts.
Please give, if you can.
And thank you.

The fact that you, your dad, your uncles, and the rest of your family all care so deeply about others tell me I chose right. Thanks for being you, Fowlers.
