This week my access to free healthcare, adequate medication and clean water saved my life.
This week, a natural disaster has removed access to the most vital supplies for an entire nation.
The Disasters Emergency Committee collects donations and distributes them to the agencies on the frontline. This is a list of the member agencies. £10 will barely buy you a cafe lunch, but it will save lives in Haiti. Looking at the photographs that have been splashed across the media & the internet my primary reaction is guilt that I can’t be there to provide physical help for the undeniable horror that an entire nation is feeling, but we can spare a few quid.
Please, give what you can to help Haiti.

It really is an awful situation. I have been thinking about those poor people so much this week. The Dad who had already lost one daughter and who was in hospital with his other (dying) daughter, just sitting there, begging anyone to help them but there was no-one there. Just thinking about it now brings tears to my eyes, I can’t even begin to imagine myself in his position. So, so sad.
Have you seen the Hearts for Haiti Etsy shop? I have just donated an item there.
