It's Lawyers to the Rescue -- whatever the cause
By THOMAS JOHNSON

The day after the earthquake struck Haiti, Spencer Aronfeld stood on a tarmac in Fort Lauderdale and watched air ambulance after air ambulance return from Port-au-Prince. Right then and there, he knew that he had to find a way to join the relief effort.

So Aronfeld and his wife, Dina, created Lawyers to the Rescue, a humanitarian organization that aims to help survivors of the earthquake and others in need.

The couple, both University of Miami law school graduates who live in Coral Gables, wanted to do something for the Haitian earthquake survivors that would have an immediate effect. So they made a few phone calls and put together a silent auction that raised more than $6,000 for a Haitian food bank.
