On
January 12, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti just outside the capital city
of Port-au-Prince. The devastation – in lives lost, property destroyed, and
families displaced – is immense.
At the
request of President Obama, we are partnering to help the Haitian people reclaim
their country and rebuild their lives.
Our
immediate priority is to save lives. The critical needs in Haiti are great, but
they are also simple: food, water, shelter, and first-aid supplies. The best way
concerned citizens can help is to donate funds that will go directly to supplying
these material needs.
Through the Clinton
Bush Haiti Fund, we will work to provide immediate relief and long-term support
to earthquake survivors. We will channel the collective goodwill around the globe
to help the people of Haiti rebuild their cities, their neighborhoods, and their
families.
We ask each of you to give what
you can to help ensure the people of Haiti can build back stronger and better
than ever.
Both of us have personally witnessed
the tremendous generosity and goodwill of the American people and of our friends
around the world to help in times of great need. There is no greater rallying
cry for our common humanity than witnessing our neighbors in distress. And, like
any good neighbor, we have an obligation and desire to come to their aid.
Thank
you for taking the time to visit, and we hope you will donate to this worthwhile
cause. The people of Haiti now need our assistance more than ever.

William J. Clinton
