A World In Need

 A devastating 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck southwest Haiti on Aug.  14. Over 1,400 people were killed, and that number is expected to  increase as search-and-rescue efforts continue. Blocked roads are  delaying the delivery of vital supplies to hospitals, which are  overwhelmed with more than 6,900 injured people. At least 26,000 homes  were damaged or destroyed, but the full extent of damage is still  unknown. Haiti is also suffering through a political crisis and was hit  by Tropical Storm Grace on Monday night, which caused severe flooding in  communities already damaged by the earthquake.

Your gifts will support earthquake survivors. Gifts to "Haiti Crisis"  will be used in full (100%) to assist those affected by the earthquake  in Haiti.

 As the U.S. armed forces rapidly withdraw from Afghanistan, more than 20,000 Afghans who served alongside them face a severe backlog in the processing of  their Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs). Our Afghan allies and their  families are in grave danger and at risk of retaliatory attacks from the Taliban.   Please click below for ways that you can help.
