A report of a girl trapped in the rubble amid dead bodies. Rescuers were giving her food and water but did not have the equipment to move the concrete trapping her. They were considering amputating her leg, but did not have the blood to do so. I'm not sure how this worked out, but it illustrates the desperate straits in Haiti, and I pray they were able to free her and save her life. It's difficult to watch but illustrates what is happening all over Port-au-Prince.
Please donate to a reliable charity in the wake of this crisis. It doesn't have to be much. I donated the equivalent of a loaded pizza--something I can easily do without. For these people, it can mean so much more.
