Hey All,

So we have a major crisis going on. Now we can give our money to everyone and everything for BS, here is an opportunity for us to do some good. I know many of us give to different orgs and causes but instead of buying that Big Mac meal or Starbucks please donate a min. of $5 bucks to help our family over in Haiti.

Now I am not from there, but I be live that no matter where you are or who you are (black, white, asian, greek) we all have ties to another and we are all family, so when family is down we have to help them out.
