Haiti Evacuees in Crisis in Chicago at A Safe Haven http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kCMYHfkKEo

Hope for Haiti

Thanks to everyone who donated clothes, toiletries, food and other valuable items for the 240 Haiti earthquake victims who found solace at A Safe Haven Foundation.  If you're still interested in donating to our Haiti relief efforts, cash or checks are greatly appreciated as it will help defray the costs involved with providing needed accomodations.  Also, please consider donating to programs and services at A Safe Haven Foundation.  Our services benefit those in crisis and transition, especially people coping with homelessness, and/or the diseases of alcoholism, substance abuse and mental health conditions.
