Help Haiti with Michael's Team

A friend of mine came up with a great idea to start a fund raising team in honor of Michael Jackson for relief effort in for Haiti through UNICEF. As you probably know, an earthquake of 7.0 magnitude struck the region of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti and left extreme devastation in it's path. The death toll now climbs to over 200,000 - the size of an average town's population in the United States. With over 40 aftershock earthquakes and the most recent 6.1 earthquake, there is so much need in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti and the surrounding region.

Please be the change they need. They need more support. There are still not enough supplies to help everyone in need. Many Haitians are perishing on the streets because of a lack of food or water. Many children are suffering the same.

Even if you can't donate, please join Team Michael and set a fund raising goal of your own. While you may not be able to donate, you have the power to convince someone who can to do so.

Here's a link to my personal page if you are interested in donating (I'm apart of the team, so everything I raise goes to the team contribution): http://inside.unicefusa.org/site/TR/Events/General?px=2956920&pg=personal&fr_id=1050

"Team Michael is a UNICEF fundraising team for the relief efforts in Haiti. This team was created by and for Michael Jackson fans to continue helping those in need during this crisis.

In honor of Michael Jackson, please make a donation to the relief efforts in Haiti. The children of Haiti are counting on you!

If Michael Jackson was still amongst us, we know he would have been deeply affected by the situation in Haiti. Michael was supposed to perform on stage in London the day of the earthquake, and then on January 14th. Many fans believe he would have dedicated his concerts to the people of Haiti, and would have donated the proceeds from these shows to the relief efforts in Haiti"

Help Haiti

Haiti still needs your help!

Please consider making a donation to the relief efforts in Haiti. Most people affected by the earthquake in Haiti do not have water, food, or shelter. Children and adults are in need of nutrition. Please do what you can to help the people affected by the earthquake in Haiti.

Feed the world

Michael gave and gave. And, we must do the same. This year, give the gift that gives prosperity to those in need! Heifer.org is a company that offers animals (and honeybees) as gifts for people less fortunate. Heifer.org helps people who are struggling to survive; people without proper food to eat, clothing, or homes. These are typically people who rely on natural resources to survive. Unfortunately, when they have a bad year or a sudden loss, this impacts their lives tremendously and sometimes they need a little help to survive.

You can help with the purchase of an animal of your choice to provide food, clothing, milk, and resources to a family in need.

Best of all, it's easy, secure, and you can print the gift right from your computer! Click this link to see how you can support families in need all over the world!
