*Help for Haiti: Supporting grassroots organizations after a disaster is
crucial*

urgent medical attention.

To donate to grassroots rebuilding efforts, *Food First recommends* 
*Grassroots
International<http://www.grassrootsonline.org/news/blog/all-hands-responding-haiti-emergency>

for longer-term work, *Agricultural

Health<https://donate.pih.org/page/contribute/haiti_earthquake?source=earthquake&subsource=homepage>
