In the aftermath of the horrific tragedy in Haiti, I sincerely hope that you take advantage of the many programs and opportunities to lend a hand to our brothers and sisters who are there in need.

“The people of Haiti are struggling just to survive. And every one of us has the power to help.”  The PSA presented by First Lady Michelle Obama encourages audiences to support the Red Cross‘ efforts, go to www.redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS. Use your cell phones to text HAITI to 9-0-9-9-9 and $10 will be given automatically to the American Red Cross.

Recycle your old cell phone and support relief efforts in Haiti.  Visit www.phonesforhaiti.com to learn how to recycle your phone for FREE!
