An appeal from Heidi Allison-Shane, Publisher of CruiseCompete's Currents Newsletter

Today I would like to appeal to you in the wake of Haiti's devastating earthquake.  I have a personal friend named Danita who runs an orphanage in Haiti.  I would like to share her story with you and ask you for your assistance to help some of the children and people in Haiti.  More ....

CruiseCompete has sent $1,000 to help.  We hope you will consider helping with a donation if you are able to and please send this information out to your family and friends.

Thank you for your consideration and warmest regards,

Heidi
