I wanted to drop a few links below for people to go to and donate if they can. I know the txt message donations back home are very popular, but nothing like that exists here (as far as I know.) All of these are reputable charity organizations that have ways to donate specifically to Haiti.

Please give what you can. Current estimates have the death toll at approx. 50,000. With millions left homeless or injured. At current, over 2 million children have been affected. Either injured, left homeless, become orphaned, or even worse.

$10 is nothing to you and me, but can mean so much more to those that have nothing. If you want, list what you gave and who you gave to below as a response. If would be wonderful to see how much the Dave's community can give.

Thank you. And may whatever God you believe in, Bless You!

**EDIT - Recent estimates put the death toll about over 140,000. Relief efforts are still stalled due to safety concerns and logistical issues.

Please give what you can. This is slowly becoming one of the worst disasters in recorded history. Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary actions. Please Give!

$35 - Save the Children

**Also, if anyone knows of a good place to donate through Paypal, please let me know. So far, Save the Children is the only one I can find. A lot of people feel more comfortable giving through paypal than their credit card.

I'd pass over giving to the Red Cross, as only 75% of donations actually help in the relief.

Here are some helpful places to donate:

Doctors Without Borders: http://www.doctorswithoutborders.com

Oxfam America: http://www.oxfam.org

Y�le Haiti: http://www.yele.org/

I gave to DWB (MSF). 87% of what they receive goes to the relief efforts.

Thanks for the information. I made a small donation to MSF through the Canadian office.

If you are in the USA you can send a text "Haiti" to 90999 and it will donate $10 to the American Red Cross. Or, you can text "Yele" to 501501 and it will donate $5 to Wyclef Jean's Yele foundation to help Haiti. The amount will appear on your next months bill.

I gave $30 CDN to World Vision Canada and specified I wanted it spent on Haiti.

It really affected me when my wife was watching it on the news and starting shedding tears.

This is also a good one.
We all need to be on our knees in prayer for Haiti.

Not sure about the Yele foundation - there's criticism in the net:

And Red Cross seems to have loads of money left over from the 2004 tsunami, so they don't need extra.

Best to ensure that the donations are not bound to a purpose and let the charities decide how much they need to spend on Haiti and where else money is needed.

The Red Cross and others depend on these big disasters to fund their operating budgets long after the disasters are over. If you give them money now, its doubtful it would actually go to Haiti relief. The Red Cross is a huge racket.
