Nothing is worse than to hear news of a devastating event in the world. Something about that just makes you want to reach out and help your fellow human. The earthquake that struck Haiti on Tuesday is one of those devastating events. In a poverty stricken country such as this, mother nature seems to have her crulest intentions in mind. During these times, we need to put our best foot forward in helping to rebuild, rejeuvenate, and revitalize. Sure you have bills, you want to go out and enjoy your life, you have clothes to buy. But in doing that, think about how those funds can go toward helping someone who just lost everything. The smallest contribution can make a the largest difference.
