Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Twelve students from Lynn University in Boca Raton are amongst those stuck in Haiti in the aftermath of yesterday’s devastating earth quake. One student was able to send a text message to a parent, and reports that all twelve are safe.
The group was traveling with Food for the Poor, a charitable organization that employs 600 people in Haiti. They’re currently accepting donations to help with relief.
Meanwhile, The US State Department has set up a phone number for Americans seeking information on relatives who may have been affected. That number is 888-407-4747.
