HAITI - CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS





The earthquake that has devasted Haiti is truly heart breaking. The photos and news stories are unimaginable. It got me thinking about the special needs population there - especially the children.

While I do not know anything more about this group than what is on their website,it does seem legitimate. We are not asking you to donate, just bringing this group to your attention. It is called miriam center: http://www.nwhcm.org/our-programs/the-miriam-center (this link should work - had trouble with it earlier today!)

On their site they talk about their efforts to help. You can also see that cerebral palsy and autism are rated high amongst the special needs that they serve.

Our thoughts are with all of the people of Haiti, the rescue workers going in from all over the world and the families here in the US and around the world who have lost loved ones or are still unable to connect with loved ones.

If you want to help, consider these organizations:

AMERICAN RED CROSS
CARE
UNICEF
