Junior,
Yesterday I traveled to Haiti to deliver emergency supplies, see the
conditions on the ground first-hand, and meet with government
officials.
I wish you could have seen what I saw. Haitians were performing
surgeries at night, without lights, with no anesthesia, using vodka to
sterilize equipment. It's astonishing what they've been able to
accomplish in such devastating conditions.
We delivered the first of the supplies made possible by your support --
generators, gas cans, solar flashlights, bottles of water, food, and
medicines. You can be assured that your donations are being put to good
use. We've already distributed more than $3 million to 12 organizations
on the ground.
Only with your continued generosity will we be able to sustain these
efforts and save more lives. Please make a donation of any size today:

Even after this earthquake, I believe Haiti has the best chance in my
lifetime to escape its history -- a history that Hillary and I have
been able to share in a small way.
It's going to take a lot of help and a long time, but they can build a better future if we do our part.
Thank you for your compassion and commitment to the people of Haiti,
Bill Clinton
