Please Help Our Brothers and Sisters in Haiti

Guys, I was at the gym this evening watching CNN's coverage of the earthquake in Haiti. As I sat pedaling on my bike, I looked up in time to see the body of a blessed little angel under a sheet. He or she must have been no older than my littlest one who is about to be two.

I couldn't continue. I got off and tried to get something to wipe my bike and leave, because I was fighting back tears.

As Mr. Slim and I left, we began to cry in the car. I can't sit idly by while my family--Yes, family because in this world we ARE a family, fuck what you've been told--is hurting in Haiti.

I'm still working on a few ideas to help raise money. I'm thinking about the logistics of doing a 12 hour run, bike, danceathon, SOMETHING in order to compel people to donate.

This is not a black problem. This is not an Obama problem. This is a family problem, and we need to come together and help these children, mothers, fathers--our brothers and sisters, big and small--to begin rebuilding!
