What about home?

A lot of controversy has been going on about whether or not people should stop helping Haiti and help their own communities. A lot of people are asking what about the people in the USA that are homeless? what about New Orleans? What about Atlanta flood victims. Poverty is a world wide issue. We still need to help Haiti as much as we can. The entire country is dealing with being homeless, loss of loved ones. Imagine if all 50 states had the devastation Haiti is dealing with, we all would want continuous support from around the world. Yes we still need to help our communities to become safer and more prosperous. Thing that i realize is that just because I help Haiti does not mean i can't help here in the US. You still can spend time with people, pray, donate food, money, clothes, etc. You can split the money. for instance if you were going to give an American organization $20 give $10 to the organization, $10 to Haiti. Do your research and make sure you are not giving to a fake organization there are some twisted people in the world. just because an adopted child wants to find their birth parents does not mean they love their parents any less. You can still make a difference in Haiti as well as your own community. Be creative. Send cards that give encouragement and inspiration. Keep giving as much as you can as often as you can. We all need each other to survive
