The pain is immense. Only as one, can we bear it.

LET US SAVE HAITI! HAITI WILL NOT DIE! HAITI FOREVER!
Peace fam!

I found myself needing to work, to update, to stay informed, but it wasn’t enough. Which is why I was excited to be called on to co-host Music 4 Medicine on Monday (1.18.2010). There was so much love in the room, we had a moment of prayer led by the women of Casa Atabex Ache and an altar for the victims of Haiti’s Earthquake.
We raised $2000 for Haiti and was matched by CBS, equaling $4000!!!
If you missed the show, you can check it out here! It was a beautiful moment of unity for a beautiful nation!
