Student Nurses Association at Boise State University

Two months after the earthquake in Haiti, the situation is still dire for millions of people.  Food, water, shelter, and medical supplies are still scarce, or unable to reach the people who need them most.  The rainy season is less than a month away, when flooding will increase homelessness, disease, and suffering. 

Please join SNA and the Nursing Department in raising funds to help a local Haitian family that has been displaced by the earthquake. A collection can is located in the LRC.

A small amount can go a long way!
