As all of us know there have been horrible earthquakes in two parts of the world lately. The 7.0 earthquake in Haiti destroyed many of their weak structures. The earthquake killed many and left many more homeless, weak, and vulnerable. Where do all those people go? They have to go somewhere. There are websites like www.bet.com/special/helphaiti that you can donate to and save peoples lives by providing medicine, shelter, food, water, and other necessities of life. There are also a lot of other things going on to help other countries like Chile. For example Idol Gives Back where all you have to do is text them and give them 10$ to save someone’s life.
In my opinion I think that the right thing to do is to fly over to every other poor country and give them all the money we have. There is a story in the Bible that has four people. Three of them are rich and one is very poor. The three rich men put in pocket change into a bucket of donations for the poor. The poor man puts in everything he has into the bucket, which is very little, and the rich men laugh. Then Jesus comes along and says that that the poor man should be the one laughing because he was brave and put in everything he had and they just put in pocket change. I think we should all follow this story best we can and give all we have so we can give an option for the poor and vulnerable.
