Haiti Relief

A Message from Theodore Wilson and Raymond Wilson, II

We all have seen over the last weeks the horrific devastation that the most powerful earthquakes our small neighbor Haiti has seen in the last 200 years. It has been heartbreaking to see the images of 3 million people being left homeless in a country that was already the most poorest in the Western Hemisphere. It is sad to see the pictures of people that look like many of us that don’t have the basic necessities such as food, water, medicine, and shelter. The people of Haiti needs are great and it has been refreshing to see the outpouring of support the people of the World has provided. There are many of us in the WLH family who would love to be able to provide help in easing the people of Haiti’s suffering, but are unsure of the best way to do so. I believe that one of the most powerful ways that we can show love and support is to do something in the WLH Family name. To this end, I am appealing to all Family members to give from the heart whatever they can afford give to a HAITI Relief Fund sponsored by the WLH Family Circle. Every bit will help and no donation will be too large or small as any amount given from the heart will go a long way in helping ease this humanitarian crisis and suffering unfolding before us on a daily basis.
