iPhone Saves Life in Haiti Earthquake!

About 2 weeks ago a devastating earthquake hit Haiti, a country in the Caribbean. Many people have been killed and injured in this tragic event. Dan Woolley, an American filmmaker, happened to be down there when the 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit. He was trapped under his collapsed hotel with a fractured leg and a badly bleeding wound on his head. Not knowing what to do he turned to his iPhone for help and used the Jive Media Pocket First Aid and CPR application to look up how he could self treat himself. He was in fact able to maintain his wounds until he was found by french rescuers just under 3 days later. Now that these incredible devices are even saving lives I think it is safe to say that there is an app for anything!

After this event many people like Dan Woolley are still trapped alive or are injured and need our help. If you would like to donate to the American Red Cross for this cause click here or text HAITI to 90999 to donate 10 dollars. Every little bit counts!
