We’re all aware of the tragedy that Haiti is going through due to the horrific earthquake that hit the island-nation last month.  We’ve been inundated with images and soundbites that chronicle the devastation, while also serving to remind us that there are those out there much less fortunate than us.

While Missouri is miles and miles away from Haiti, it’s hard not to think about how we can help their situation, even if only a little bit.  Here is a story in the Southeast Missourian about how a few St. Louis doctors, philanthropists and even a Chesterfield based humanitarian organization called Wings of Hope pitched in to help save the leg of a young Haitian boy in desperate need of their care.  It’s a great testament to the age old adage “every little bit counts.”  Truly inspiring!
