seticatThere may well be a fair number of ongoing commentary on this situation so be aware. Skip if you want or read if you want.
There's now a community called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
help_haiti. Are you a fic writer and willing to write something for a donation? Here's the place. Do art? Read cards? Something? Here's a place where you can do something hands on and still have the finances go out to those who need it. Go check it out and see if this would work for you.
More charity and donation links:
DirectRelief
Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres
Portlight Strategies, who have announced plans to help "people with disabilities in Haiti...providing medical equipment, shelter, and food for them..."
Red Cross (International Site)
Red Cross Red Crescent
OXFAM America
OXFAM UK
MercyCorps - you can donate via PayPal, Google Checkout and Amazon Payments
American Friends Service Committee (Quakers)
Consider texting "HAITI" to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross relief efforts. The $10 will show up on your next cell phone bill. Even if you can't do something directly, echo this info far and wide. Imagine if only 1 person in every 100 gave $10. That would be almost $300,000.00. [assuming a population of approx 3,000,000 unless my math is really fubar].
