Tears In Heaven

Please, whatever you do today, please make sure you pray for the people of Haiti and all their families here in the US. For strength, and faith, and hope.

My brother-in-law... my dear brother-in-law, his family lives in Haiti and he has been unable to get in touch with them since the earthquake.

They live in Ville de Solidarite - a part of Port-au-Prince.

I love my brother-in-law and I love my little sister more. They need our prayers to make it through this time.

Consider donating funds to the Red Cross through your place of employment, many companies offer "matching gifts" which doubles any amount you give. My company does.

Anyway, please keep my BIL in your thoughts and prayers today.

  1. Oh Amy I'm so sorry to hear that! They'll definitely be in my thoughts and prayers.

    My cousin works for a non-profit and wrote some tips to make sure your $ (no matter where you're donating) goes to RELIEF and not to office supplies or operation costs: http://tinyurl.com/yceyrjc

  2. Yikes! Amy, wow. I've seen the videos and its is heart wrenching - especially since a lot of people cannot contact their friends and family since most of the phone lines are down.

    Hugs!

  8. I'm so so sorry to hear about your BIL... I hope he hears from his family very soon!!! My uncle is also from Haiti and while most of his family has now moved here there are a few left. I believe he's heard from most of them thankfully but it's so stressful.
