Haiti was hit by an earthquake with a 7.0 magnitude. Since the earthquake there has been 72,000 bodies found so far and there is estimated to be a total of 200,000. 3,000,000 Haitians which is a third of the population is in need of necessities (food,water, and clothes). Since Haiti is in need of help we have been collecting money for a monetary donation and have sent some troops over there. Right now there are 11,000 U.S. troops in Haiti and we are going to send 4,000 more. The U.S. population has collected over 100 million dollars in donations. Over 20 million was by text messages. We have sent over 200,000 bottles of water and 600,000 food rations to help the nation out in these desperate times. St. Anthony as a school is collecting donations because we have a sister parish over there.
