An Urgent Appeal for the People of Haiti from The Mr. Rogers Windows Foundation

Our world is witnessing a major humanitarian disaster of unprecedented proportions

. The Red Cross federation has estimated that 45,000 to 50,000 people have died as a result of the earthquake that struck Haiti on Tuesday, January 12, 2010. However, it is also believed that over 3 million more have been injured or left homeless without the essentials to sustain life water and food. Medical care is almost non-existent. The survivors of the quake are now living in devastation and desperation on the streets. Yet even now on CNN we see them, marching and singing on the streets of Port-au-Prince. We are in awe at their resilience and their dignity in the face of such tragedy. As we approach the critical 72-hour mark after the quake, our brothers and sisters in Haiti are in desperate need of help. As God's children and citizens of this planet, we are all being called upon during these critical hours to act quickly and with compassion in order to save as many lives as possible and relieve the suffering. Before it is too late. Already too many have been killed or have succumbed to their injuries without proper medical attention. Every single one of our actions, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem, at this moment in time must in some way contribute and make a difference to the people of Haiti. Their need is urgent: food, water, shelter, medicine, antibiotics, medical supplies and equipment, search and rescue teams, medical workers, fuel, even equipment and manpower to clear roads of rubble so that aid can reach the people. Countless organizations around the world are working tirelessly now to get aid to Haiti as quickly as possible. But it cannot be done without financial resources. And in the coming difficult days and weeks facing the Haitian people, the need for ongoing financial support will become greater, to prevent disease, improve living conditions, build shelter for the homeless, and stabilize their communities. Donating cash is one way each and every one of us can help, regardless of where we live. Mr. Rogers Windows is donating $10 directly to the relief effort for every window we sell over the course of the next 3 months, and we will make this donation to the International Red Cross and World Vision, and designate it specifically for the relief effort in Haiti. Both organizations had relief efforts on the streets in Haiti within hours of the quake. We are a generous nation, and thousands of people have responded in an overwhelming show of support for the victims of Tuesday's earthquake in Haiti. Let us continue to open our wallets and our hearts for them. We must also help them to keep the faith. We must let them know that we are all praying for them and with them. The people of Haiti need to know that the entire world is behind them, supporting them and looking out for them in these hours of immediate and critical need. All of us at Mr. Rogers Windows and the Mr. Rogers Windows Foundation are praying for the people of Haiti. We send you our love, our support and we are in awe of your courage, your strength and your faith. Know that we stand with you, that the world stands with you, and that help is on its way.
