Seriously, if you've seen any of the video of the buildings falling. These poor people didn't have a seconds chance. If you were inside, you went down with the building.
* People who want to help those affected by the Haitian earthquake can make a donation to the American Red Cross International Response Fund at Redcross.org or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS.
* The Red Cross is also receiving money through a third party mobile fundraising effort sponsored by Mobile Accord. Mobile donors can text “Haiti” to 90999 to send a ten dollar donation to the Red Cross. The funds will go to support the Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.

be careful who you donate too.. do your research. You can't loose with Red-Cross but notice now how all the charities or donation networks are coming out of the woodwork!.
Remember when you donate $1.00 to the Red Cross those people in need get about 80 cents which is better then most organizations.
And this is why I pulled out my wallet and donated. Not a lot, mind you but any little bit helps.
Me too, and that is why they do it. It breaks our hearts and they count on that to get us to give. Without such imagery, we would not donate. It would just be another disaster that we were detached from. Did any of you donate for Pakistan or Turkey when they had their massive quakes? Of course not. Because we didn't have to see it.
Think about all the heart breaking disasters that happen world wide every year. Floods, famine, land slides, quakes, all with 1000s of people dead BUT most of it gets more than a blip on the news. Because of this we don't open our wallets because we don't understand the magnitude of the disaster. It's not in our face, death on a massive scale, so we don't skip a beat and go on with our daily lives.
The media could do more to help people around the world if they would cover every disaster a little more. Put it in our face and make us watch it, and we will give.

You cant loose with RedCross??? Thats a nice way to think about it but you are wrong.
Anyway we did donate and we also dropped some food and articles in with the rotary club here.. Lots of stations asking for things and we have left stuff.
