I'm really up in the air on this one....I usually donate to good causes. But really... Can we (I) afford it. I'm so far upside down on my house, I can't justify a donation. Sorry.......

God Bless!

i find it a bit disturbing that our government reacted to the disaster in Haiti faster than they reacted to the devastation by hurricane Katrina and Rita. just my thoughts.
