Haiti Earthquake Relief: How We Can All Help

Many of you are already aware of the devastating earthquake in Haiti – a quake that has destroyed thousands of buildings, caused unimaginable damage, hardship and loss of human life.  Like you, my family and I are saddened and overcome with emotion with the images and stories of the people of Haiti.  Millions of people in Haiti are now homeless, without any food, water or medical care and thousands more are presumed to be missing or dead.  Among those missing are our fellow Canadians.

As a proud Canadian, I feel that that we have all been very fortunate and blessed.  In this time of need, we should all take it upon ourselves to help the victims of the earthquake by donating generously.  My family and my colleagues at 411.ca will be assisting in the relief efforts by donating to the many charities assisting with the cause.

To get involved in the relief efforts in Haiti, please visit one of the charities listed below.

Your help and support is urgently needed.

Thank you,

Steve Curry

President & CEO of 411.ca
