We need your help to raise $100,000 in four nights to help the victims of Haiti’s catastrophic earthquake. No country in the Western Hemisphere has been battered more than Haiti in the last 500 years—the nearly complete annihilation of its native population over two decades, a brutal slave regime, ongoing foreign military interventions over hundreds of years, brutal dictatorships supported by western powers, blockades of aid and more recently, devastating natural disasters from hurricanes to this latest earthquake.
100% of proceeds from this benefit will be donated to Wyclef Jean’s YELE to fund the Emergency Mobile Hospitals initiative administered by the U.N. We ask that you give any way you can.
