                Although it has been over a year since a disastrous earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 struck Haiti, 16 miles west of its capital Port-au-Prince , the three million Haitians affected by it still need your help. Before the earthquake, Haiti was already known for being one of the poorest countries in the entire globe.  Haiti has no construction standards as the majority of homes in Haiti were made out of materials such as cardboard, aluminum, lackluster wood, and anything sturdy that the average Haitian family can get their hands on. So it is not difficult to send some cost efficient materials such as wood from your local Lowes or Home Depot.  Haiti’s population is 10 million, so 1/3 of their population were harmed by this disastrous earthquake. Governments from a couple of nations have lent a hand, Venezuela, Mexico, Italy, France, Spain, The Netherlands, Germany and China. The reason that the people of Haiti need Your help is because most of them only live on $2 a day, so it is very difficult for them to have ends meet, struggling just to get food on their table for their family to eat.
