Help Haiti by texting your donation...
« on: January 15, 2010, 12:38:37 AM »
HELP HAITIA Haitian saying is "Deye mon de mon" meaning "Beyond mountains are mountains," because theirs are the tallest in the Caribbean. We need to be mountains for Haitians now. Text "HAITI" to 90999 to donate $10 to @RedCross relief efforts in Haiti.


I just did this and it is quick and easy.

Done and done.  It's nice that text messaging is occasionally not awful.

I was happy that they charge the $10 to your bill because I didn't have any money at the time but once I found that out, I did it. I heard they've raised 5 million dollars so far this way. Pretty impressive.

Not to be a dick about anyone choosing to donate wherever they want or in whatever way is easiest, but if anyone has any reservations giving to the Red Cross after the 9/11 and Katrina controversies (as I do), here's something:

Thanks to EFD's Facebook.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

There's also Partners in Health which specializes in providing services to poor countries and has already done much for Haiti. Aka, they know what they're dealing with down there -

That's who I went with.  Incidentally, that's where the money is going from an upcoming benefit at The Bell House with TL and others...

That is also who we donated to. PIH knows Haiti well.
