I was going to do a long post about how a computer virus nearly RUINED MY LIFE yesterday, what with the virusy-ness and the inability to check my email or do computer work at work.
But in light of recent events, I think it might be better to just suck it up and deal with my first-world problems (also, computer totally fixed today) and just point out to everyone that in a country as poor as Haiti, every little bit of support you can give will help.
So, if you can, please help.
There are a lot of organizations that are rushing to provide disaster relief, but I do prefer the ones that will stick around after and help with the rebuilding. Whatever organization you choose to go through, though, just remember that even a few dollars can provide clean drinking water (which becomes so crucial and less available after a natural disaster in a low-infrastructure country) for survivors of this devastating earthquake.
Ture it’s very hard to be down about little things when you see the big picture
I’m totally with you here. It’s been making my skin crawl every time I hear anybody complain about anything in thier uber comfortable life. My facebook status read: “I’m so sick of hearing people complain about the weather when there are people with REAL problems” last week. For some reason I feel more heartbreak now than during the NO floods.
