Haiti

Collected Dead: 50,000
Estimated Dead: 200,000

I almost feel weird writing about the disaster there because I feel as though no matter what words I put together to express my remorse, they will never do it justice. Therefore, I was hesitant to write anything in my blog about it but I went to a family friend's house today and I was inspired. Their daughter put together a bake sale with her friends to help in the relief efforts towards Haiti, and just their small effort raised almost a grand. This was just enough force to put me into motion. Oliviadahd and I are going to do a bake sale next Sunday to raise money. We're setting up camp in the same place as the girl I spoke to but we're bringing in the bad boys. We're going to have chocolate covered strawberry after chocolate covered strawberry lined up. My world famous (I wish) Chocolate Chip Cookies ("Lexi's favorite" courtesy of Martha Stewart... really you should try the, the recipe is to die for) and chocolate covered blueberries will be making an appearance as well. I say all this because like I was inspired, I hope some of you stumble across this and hope it puts some positive energy into your outlook toward Haiti.
