They say once you have experienced an earthquake you are more sensitive to the aftershocks..ask a Haitian.

"One good shake away" -

Yesterdays earthquake made us stop for a moment and think.... what if it was a 7.7 in downtown Toronto? In a few fleeting seconds the lives of millions could have been changed forever. And look how far it reached, Quebec, Ontario, Ohio, New York, etc. it could have been just as devastating as Haiti.

The difference is, we have the resources to help manage a crisis and we have quick organized response times and medical care; whereas in Haiti they already were suffering from being so poor with lack of infrastructure. The earthquake destroyed what little they had and the final toll of destruction is yet to be seen, with infections and malnutrition directly linked to the earthquake. Lets thank God that nothing more serious happened today.

We are all "one good shake away" from disaster so our mission is to push forward and help rebuild Haiti.

Thanks Elaine.
