About a week ago, we asked people to send along their thoughts and prayers for the SEIU health care professionals who have already deployed, and are getting ready to deploy, to Haiti. We've received hundreds. Here's a sampling.

Ida from SEIU Healthcare Michigan writes:

My prayers are with you, and the people of Haiti.

Yolanda from Health Care Florida:

I pray that the lord be with all of you, that you may help as many people as you can, and that you return safe from this mission.

Carrie from SEIU Local 503:

It's good to know we can help those i dire need. Thanks. We are proud to be affiliated with this.
