Tigeorge's Fundraising Dinner
We were at the fundraising dinner at Tigeorge's in Echo Park. Watching the solidarity, participating in planning was an amazing thing. To see the amount of donations pouring in was truly heartwarming. The good doctor who spoke was very eloquent (footage to come at a later time). The gist of the speeches were that the Haitian community in LA and California are joining together to help coordinate relief efforts and to act as a resource for those who wish to donate. Also, the people within the diaspora need to come together to help rebuild Haiti. Everyone is grateful to the world for their empathy and their donations of time, goods, money and services. In terms of donations: ONLY DONATE TO REPUTABLE AGENCIES THAT ARE ESTABLISHED!!!!! On a side note from the BKN, those are agencies that have logistics down to a science and have a distribution network. Your donations will go to Haiti and the people there.
