Haiti

Many prayers to those in Haiti enduring this tragedy after this devastating quack.

There are many ways you can help.

Use your cellphone. You can text "Yele" to 501501 to donate in $5 increments to Yele.org. Yele.org is a grassroots effort dedicated to improving life in Haiti through projects that raise hope and rebuild their nation.

The Red Cross is accepting donations by texting "Haiti" to 90999. This will contribute in $10 increments. Both of these resources will add your donation to your cell bill.

Doctors without Borders are also accepting donations. They had 3 hospitals in Haiti that have been damaged and became unusable during the quake. They are continuing to send more doctors to the area to treat the injured. Donate to Doctors without Borders



Oxfam America - Donate online
"Oxfam has long experience in Haiti, and we're rushing in teams from around the region to respond to the situation where our assistance is most needed. Our response will include providing clean water, shelter, sanitation and helping people recover – your donation will go immediately to the most critical needs in Haiti, and we will ensure that every penny is used wisely." --Oxfam America

Please do your research before making donations. Sadly some are opportunistic, but I have checked the above organizations and recommend that you do the same.
