- More Arcade Fire
Arcade Fire are the latest band to ask fans to donate to the Haiti earthquake appeal.
Calling the tragic quake “Haiti's darkest hour”, a message from Win Butler and his wife Régine Chassagne called for help in the blighted country.
They wrote:
Haiti needs your help in her darkest hour.
We just got off the phone with our friends at Partners in Health. Most of the medical infrastructure in Port-au-Prince is down.
Since Partners in Health's clinics are in situated the surrounding areas and haven't been damaged, they are mobilizing their resources towards
the capital, setting-up field hospitals to treat the injured on the ground.
Also, Paul Farmer (the founder of PIH) is at the UN and has access to the best information on where to direct the money... so for the moment
if you want to help, we suggest sending funds to:
www.pih.org
Canadian residents with Roger cell phones can text HELP to 1291. 5 $ will be directed to Partners In Health's Haiti emergency fund.
Please be generous as time is of the essence.
love,
Win and Regine
The Régine sung Arcade Fire song 'Haiti' appears on their 2004 masterpiece 'Funeral'.
