For the People of Haiti

As many of you may have already heard, on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, a horrific earthquake, registering 7.0 on the Richter scale, struck the nation of Haiti , and while the total number of casualties has yet to be determined, some officials fear the total will exceed 100,000.

That is why I am asking, encouraging, and imploring anyone who may be reading this to contact your local chapter of the American Red Cross. If you cannot donate money, and I do understand that in these stressful economic times how difficult it may be to find the money to just pay your rent and buy food, ask them if you can donate your time and volunteer to do some useful task to assist them in their work.

For those who cannot afford to donate time or money, I ask you to offer up your prayers. Whatever your religion may be, pray for the people of Haiti, pray for an end to their suffering, and for the people who will be going to that poor, unfortunate country seeking to offer aid and comfort to the suffering . Pray that they find the strength to endure all the heartache they will face in the coming months as the people of Haiti work their way through this great tragedy.

His serene & sovereign lordship,

Wesley,
Baron of Nonsuch
