Contribute Aid for Haiti Earthquake Victims

Haiti was hit with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake at 4:53pm yesterday, January 12, leaving 3 million people in need of emergency aid.  Since Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, it is ill equipped to handle aftermath of the earthquake alone.

Local Utah business owner Mika Lawson of Mikarose and her sister Laureen are of Haitian descent and have family who were affected by the disaster.  They are partnering with Healing Hands for Haiti and organizing aid for the earthquake victims in Haiti.

If you would like to help in any way, be it monetary, time, donations of food or first aid, your contributions are welcome!

Here are items needed:

• Money (You can make a donation a www.healinghandsforhaiti.org)
• First Aid/Medicine (cough syrup, ointments, etc.)
• Food and water
• Clothes
• Granola bars, Oatmeal
• Shovels
• Picks
• Gloves
• Garbage bags

You can drop off goods at the Mikarose Warehouse tomorrow (165 N 1330 W Suite #2, Orem, Utah), call 801-602-5781 or email for pick-up to haiti@mikarose.com.

Mika Lawson was interviewed by ABC4 on this humanitarian effort to aid the Haiti earthquake victims and the segment will air on the 10:00pm news.
