Help for Haiti

As the news re: the earthquake in Haiti continues to unfold there can be confusion about where to go to help. It is incredible that there may be folks out there soliciting money for their own gain and taking advantage of such an incredible human disaster. But the reality is that there are, so here are a couple of resources checking agencies out: CharityNavigator.org and NetworkForGood.org.

And here are some truly helpful ways to contribute:
Oxfam:  http://bit.ly/6E9Xd8

Doctors Without Borders : http://bit.ly/4Yp1aN

For an immediate way to help: text on your phone– ‘HAITI’ to ‘90999? and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross–this will be charged to your cell phone bill.

The American Red Cross is accepting donations through our International Response Fund:

Mercy Corps’ online donations page is here.

And here is a very comprehensive  list of agencies –

It’s Just Light, a blog by photographer Nick Zantop, has collected a long list of aid organizations and how to donate money to them here.
