Let's Help Haiti

It is not much we can say we've done for the world community unless everyone has been impacted positively in some way.

I wanted to do as much as I could to support the people of Haiti and what they're going through right now. Haiti is in need of any help that the country can get. First and foremost, they will need water, shelter, clothing and food. They will also need donations of blood. There are so many small ways that you can help, so try to be as impactful as you can when giving. This is just the beginning of what we can do to help.

Here are 7 important websites:

1. Wyclef Jean's website where you can go to provide donations. He's been involved in providing for Haiti for some time now.

2. CNN provides a great break down of which organizations can help based on: basic needs, shelter, medical aid and food:

3. Red Cross provides all types of services but mainly can provide needed blood to survivors.

4. The White House will provide updates on what America is doing to help.

6. Huffingtonpost provides up to date news and blogs on ways you can help.
