Cholera in Haiti, Dominican Republic and the United States

Update: Jan 2011 Cholera in Haiti as of Dec 25, 2010

Is there real hope for Haiti? The cholera outbreak has now spread across the border to the Dominican Republic as well as reached the United States. According to Tom Skinner (CDC)"This case is not unexpected and we're likely to see more imported cases of cholera in people who travel back from Haiti to the United States our medical system, as well as our water and sanitation programs, is such that we are not going to see cholera spreading in the United States the way it is in Haiti."

Haiti does not have a medical system or a water and sanitation program. It is people like Lori and Licia who are taking care of the victims in Haiti. Once again, you ask why do I write about this... because YOU can help. Don't sit there... donate. I promise your money will be spent wisely and God will bless you a thousand times over.
