Author: Just in case you haven’t yet realized that we are indeed all in this together, take a look at the last few days. Last week Haiti was for most of us just another poor country somewhere in the Caribbean. It does seem to suffer with each new hurricane that passes through the area; but, somehow it managed to rebound from each.
Now, however it is the focus of a massive relief effort involving the entire world.
And, as nurses, we have the unique opportunity to make a serious contribution to the situation.
Do a Google for “nurse to Haiti”. You’ll find numerous openings for: (1) your nursing skills and/or (2) whatever financial aid you may provide.
Get involved. Please. At whatever level you find best.
I won’t be travelling personally (rejected for health reasons); but we have made our contribution here on line.
America has always been known for it’s open hearted generosity. As nurses, we have always responded “over and above” when called.
Your chance to really matter has never mattered more than it does in Haiti, today and throughout this recovery.
Thanks,
Gayle
