Haiti is a scene of unimaginable devastation and human tragedy today.
Please do all you can to help Haitians survive Tuesday’s massive earthquake by donating to one of the many service organizations listed at the bottom of this story.
This is a tough time for many of you. But we show our true character by helping those in greater need than ourselves even when it is hard.
TCU members and other working family activists are the most giving, selfless people in the world.
Thousands of Haitians have died, and no one knows how many remain trapped in rubble. Haiti, already the poorest nation in this hemisphere, desperately needs medical services, food, water, shelter—everything.
