As many of you may know by now, All That’s Fab’s own Tini is currently living and teaching in Haiti. Fortunately, she is okay, and has been keeping us updated with everything that’s going on via the internet.
Last night, she wrote a letter explaining what is really going on, and urging people to make a donation directly to a LEGIT organization, as there have been a few scams floating around as well. Please read:
As everyone knows, fortunately I’m okay. My aunt and I were able to run outside in the middle of the street during the quake. Fortunately my little cousin was 3 cars ahead of 7 or 8 cars that had rocks collapse on top of them—still no word if those people survived. (pray for them). Communication is starting now in Haiti—and it seems we’ve lost a lot people.
But there are still hundreds buried underneath the rubble and rushed to the nearest hospital (well not really rushed, there’s no transportation–ppl are walking and traveling far distances, i dont know how they are making it). The hospitals are unsanitary with bloody needles on the ground, re-used knives and scissors–it’s just a horrible sight.
As I watched and helped doctors sew limbs back together–the patients had VERY VERY little anesthesia–they could feel everything and it was obvious they were excruciating pain.
http://bit.ly/8clCjv This is where i worked yesterday and I know if you donate it will go straight to the organization. Everyone is asking me if I need anything–No, I personally don’t. As our house in Kenscoff is in very bad condition and we can’t sleep in it–I am currently staying at a friend of a friends house which seems pretty safe. The only way you can help me is if you donate here.
There are a lot of false reports via twitter and other organizations, but being here in Haiti I can tell you the real place to donate. I plead that you pass this email on.
Thank you and pls Pray for my country–
She also gave a video interview to MTV News:
Baptist Haiti Mission is a legit organization, and they are in desperate need of medicine more than anything else. Please take the time out to help. This could happen to any one of us.
You can also check out and donate to her uncle’s organization, Fondation Rose Et Blanc

God Bless her for her work and help and God Bless the people of Haiti
God Bless her!
So proud of her and what she’s doing but I still just want her to come home. May be selfish of me to feel this way but it’s the truth.
