“A Haitian youth plays next to a destroyed house in Port-au-Prince. “

Haiti.

It’s the news story that everyone is talking about. And rightfully so. This earthquake may be the absolute destruction of the country without our help. And while we sit in our warm homes with plenty of food and lots of friends, it can be easy to slip away from the reality Haiti is enduring.

It is extremely important that everyone helps out in anyway they can. MSNBC has posted a list of charities that are currently accepting help in their disaster relief projects in Haiti:

So, please, take 5 minutes to think about your brothers and sisters who are desperately fighting to stay alive. You might be their only hope.

“A Haitian walks past burning rubbish along a street in Port-au-Prince. Haiti’s government has ended the search and rescue phase of the quake relief effort after two people who spent 10 days buried under rubble were pulled out alive and the death toll soared to more than 110,000.”

My name is Maura Murphy and I am a junior at Boston University with a working major in advertising. I am a sister in Delta Gamma and, more recently, one of the three new Juicy sisters! I love Juicy Couture because the brand is fashionable but unique, which fits my personality perfectly. I like to fit in, but I also like to stand out and Juicy apparel helps me to look my finest at all times while doing just that.

My interests include traveling, shopping and cooking. I am an avid Boston Celtics fan and played basketball for 11 years. I am outgoing, adventurous and passionate. I adore getting dressed up and hitting the town, but also love the nights in with my roommates, spent watching Friends in our pajamas.

Gale Sayers once said, “I learned that if you want to make it bad enough, no matter how bad it is, you can make it." I use this quote to focus on the goals I have in life and how to achieve them. I believe that despite any obstacle life throws at you, passion and determination can drive you to the top, so long as you are willing to work for success.

That’s all I have for now, but if you’d ever like to know more – just ask!

Ciao,

Maura
