Chile In Our Thoughts
I’ve been completely glued to the daily updates about Chile after the shocking and devastating 8.8 magnitude earthquake that hit on Saturday. The aftershocks and tsunamis that have hit the area since have made the situation in Chile even more dire.
With Chile’s needs becoming increasingly larger, it’s important that we all give this devastated nation a helping hand. To donate, please contact the American Red Cross here. You can also donate and find information about loved ones in Chile through the Google Crisis Response here. Chile needs our help! Please give what you can.

UPDATE FOR OUR SPANISH SPEAKERS: I just spoke with Pamela Villamar of Grafikk Studio (based in Santiago) and she has passed along some information on more ways to donate and find out information about specific areas in Chile. Please visit the Chilean Red Cross by clicking here to donate and find out other ways you can help. You can also listen to an online radio stream for up to the minute information.

No sabes la alegría que me da descubrir posts como éste. Entre el susto vivido y la desolación por todo el daño que quedó, palabras como las tuyas me llenan de esperanza. Afortunadamente yo estoy bien pero el país necesita de mucha ayuda. Gracias Christine.
