Catastrophic flooding in Haiti is still impeding relief efforts in the island country, said the humanitarian organization CARE. The effects of Hurricane Jeanne swamped cities in northern and northwestern Haiti over the weekend, literally sweeping people away and resulting in scores of deaths, including a CARE staffer who died reportedly while trying to rescue others.
The death toll is reported at something like 600, many of them children. Many angencies are probably accepting donations, but CARE sounds like a good place to start.
So take your poker winnings and that come-from-behind-miracle Bengals football pool you won on Sunday and throw it in the hat. Then throw in another Andrew or two, just because your mother loves you.
UPDATE: The death toll is now reported at nearly 1,200 and is expected to keep rising. Donate as much as you can.
