Father Peter and Brother Santos made it safely to Florida, but they will be delayed in flying to Haiti because of their airport restrictions. I know that there are hundreds of thousands of American citizens in need of some kind of assistance right now, and we do feel called to help them when we can. However, we also want to assist our fellow brothers and sisters in neighboring countries who are GREATLY suffering from any tragedy, and not because of a narcissistic drive in a part of our soul, but just as a duty as a citizen of the world to help those who cannot help themselves.
I would like to encourage all of you to donate online to alleviate the devistation the people of Haiti have experienced. Below is a list of link to make it a little easier for you.
With warmth & thanks,
Chuck & Shelly Gonzales
