Thanks Samantha
I also donated to the Red Cross and yes, I agree we should always keep in mind a charity that might be in need.
Blessings
Samantha J. Bennett said:They keep having -after shocks- they're calling them Gloria- not more earthquakes, as appearently they're still the cause of the first (even though they say they feel like an actual earthquake again). And from what i've heard thru all the news media- they're not really getting better- several have been in the 5.0's and today was the strongest they say at 6.1.
I've donated personally to the cause- to red cross and another local charity that's been back and forth and going back soon again. It's amazing the pain and heartache we feel and share with the Haitian people, that allows us to come together to help others! Let's keep this one in our hearts for a long while- and continue to help in the present as well as the future.
There's several things and causes to always focus some attention on and people or animals that need help. Even if we all could afford picking a great cause and giving every month or two or three..etc... a week or two weeks or more worth of tips (or half of the tips we get)....anything really - my in opinion that makes my connection better and more fulfilled when i can give someones thanks to me to others as well.

I thought the "same" thing when I was watching this on the news originally.
Many of my colleagues shared their stories about 911 and going to Ground Zero
and how powerful it was for them.
Yes it would be great and maybe we can raise money for that as most of us are in the same boat as you mention! We will hold the thought.
Samantha J. Bennett said:Wouldn't it be neat if a group of massage therapists could go down and give services to those in need- just by bringing healing touch and some calmness at this stressful time? Maybe still not right now while so much is going on - but in the near future? Unfornately i don't have the money needed to even begin to think of that- i'd only have the time available at the moment. But those of you that possibly have some means should or might look into that. That'd be awesome! wow- i get chills even to think 'bout that. That'd be a pretty great feeling.
