Times are tough in Haiti. Back in August, more than 2,000 people died in an earthquake, a national disaster. A month before, its president was assassinated in his residence and stability for the long impoverished nation seems a long way off.

Now, Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports reports, James Harden has tried to alleviate some of the suffering.

The nine-time NBA All-Star, through his Impact 13 Foundation, donated approximately 5,000 essential supplies to children in Haiti last week.

Performance apparel such as Adidas backpacks, socks, shoes, water bottles and basketballs as well as personal hygiene products such as Art of Sport deodorant, body wash, lotion, Gopuff tampons, condoms and postpartum undergarments were distributed to more than 300 kids.
