Haiti Disaster Fund still needs our help

It has been a couple a weeks since we read of the disaster that occurred in Haiti. We all rushed to help but now that the memory is fading we have other activities that take up our days. That is why I am reminding us all that the people of Haiti need our attention daily. Please ask yourself and your customers to contribute to the cause. We can be proud of our fellow REALTORS and NAR for the help they have given but lets keep our eye on the goal. The REALTORS® Relief Foundation of the National Association of REALTORS® has contributed $550,000 to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake but it is calling on the over million members to keep the dream alive.

On January 22, 2010 we read that "a $500,000 donation will go to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, headed up by former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, to provide immediate relief and long-term support to survivors. Another $50,000 has also been donated to The Harvest of Haiti, a humanitarian outreach program founded by the 2007 winner of REALTOR® magazine's Good Neighbor Award. The program supports Haitian orphans, delivers clean water and provides medical care for more than 3,500 Haitian people each year.

The Foundation is also calling on REALTORS® nationwide to help Haitian victims through the REALTORS® Relief Fund. NAR members can donate using the Foundation's online contribution form."

Please keep this campaign in the minds of everyone you contact. God Bless!
