Compassion International: Haiti Earthquake Disaster Relief

The catastrophic earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12 has resulted in unfathomable chaos and devastation for hundreds of thousands of children and families. Compassion International is working rapidly to assess the situation and determine the full extent of damage. Compassion sponsors and donors serve more than 65,000 children in Haiti. At least a third of them live in the areas that were hardest hit.

Help is needed immediately. Please consider reaching out to bring relief, comfort, love and restoration to precious children and families whose lives have been devastated by this crisis.

I realize there are many legit charitable organizations that you can choose to donate through. I am personally donating to Compassion International’s Haiti earthquake relief fund. I have been sponsoring a little girl through Compassion International for 5 years now. I am not only impressed with the quality of services they provide; I am also impressed with their financial integrity.

Please note: The FBI is warning of several Haiti charity scams that have popped up in the wake of this earthquake. It is being suggested that donations only be made to organizations monitored and rated by CharityNavigator.org and The American Institute of Philanthropy. Both organizations have given Compassion International their highest approval ranking. Compassion International is the only non-profit in it’s category to receive eight consecutive years of four star rating from CharityNavigator.org.
