Send Haiti More Tents
It's been 2 weeks since the devastating Haiti earthquake ripped through Port-Au-Prince, and disaster photos (see slideshow) are still pouring in. John Travolta reportedly flew in supplies, doctors and ministers last night, helping to alleviate some of the suffering. It is reported that the Haiti death toll is confirmed at over 150,000, with more perishing every day. Approximately one-third of the victims were children.

Haitians Are Pleading for Tents
Right now, one of the most crucial items needed are tents. Hundreds of thousands of Haitian people have been left on the streets with no shelter at all. They are pleading for any kind of shelter they can find. At present, whole families – or what's left of them – are lying under anything they can find—blue plastic tarps, cardboard, sheets, whatever hasn't been destroyed by the earthquake. Some are living like dogs amid the trash, human waste and decaying flesh, fighting for scraps of food and clean water.
Rhode Island Girl Helps Haiti
Relief organizations are helping, but more is needed. Closer to home, a local 8 year old Rhode Island girl, Alyssa Conlan of Coventry, collected $1554.42 in donations for Haitian relief. The second grader started a collection drive at Washington Oak Elementary School for the American Red Cross for Haiti.
