Haiti was a country located in the Caribbean.
The Doctor, Ace and Bernice Summerfield accidentally went there in 1915 when trying to visit Ernest Hemingway in nearby Key West, Florida. Once there, they met Francois Lacombe, a native of the Alsace region of France. While there, they prevented Mait Lemaitre from summoning Cthulhu. (NA: White Darkness, NA: All-Consuming Fire)
They need your help. Desperately.
We don't normally get involved with things like this, but with a disaster so widespread and sudden as the one in Haiti, we felt we should at least try and sign post our users to the places they can get involved to try and help, in whatever way they can, to ease the suffering of the people of Haiti.
We have included a news report from ITN News on the situation, but please be aware there are scenes that some people may find upsetting.
From all at Lostpedia, please, if you can help, even if its just $1/£1/€1, please do. Every little goes towards saving the lives of thousands of those less fortunate than ourselves. If every member of LP donated an average of $10 over $18,000,000 would be raised to help, so as you can see, every single cent and penny counts. Thank you.
