Chelsea Wieber raised $4,250 for Haiti Earthquake Recovery

$4,250
 of $4,500
 

Help me raise money for Mercy Corps' response to the Haiti Earthquake.

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck near Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince Tuesday afternoon, collapsing buildings, including at least one hospital. With communications from the area disrupted, the situation is unclear -- but with continued aftershocks and eyewitness accounts of "total disaster" and chaos, there are fears of catastrophic damage and widespread casualties.

Mercy Corps is deploying an emergency response team to help survivors. Follow the latest updates at mercycorps.org/haiti.

Thank you for those that have already donated. The outpouring of support is incredible -- I've now upped my goal twice! Let's try for $1,500!

You all are amazing! Upping the goal AGAIN. New one is $3,500!

Project summary

Project summary
Just hours after a catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti — killing thousands and displacing up to two million people — Mercy Corps began deploying an experienced, field-tested emergency response team. Upon arriving in Port-au-Prince, we went immediately to work, talking with displaced survivors about what they needed most. We delivered 15 tons of food to the city's biggest hospital. We got clean water flowing again in medical clinics and shattered neighborhoods. We ensured a reliable income for survivors by creating a cash-for-work program, which also began revitalizing failing local economies. Today, our team is working with survivors, local authorities and partner organizations on long-term plans — including job creation — that will help Haiti rebuild better and stronger.
