    Please Give Donations to the Victims of Haiti

    Text "Yele" to "501501" to donate $5

    Please Text "Yele" to "501501" to donate $5 to the victims and families who need your support greatly after the 2010 Earthquake in Haiti.

    The $5 will be charged to your next cell phone bill. We all spend $5 on crap every day, it's the least we can do for people who REALLY need this money. http://www.yele.org

    Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- Haiti's capital awoke to increasing desperation Thursday morning, a day and a half after a devastating earthquake, with covered bodies piling up along streets and modern aspects of life, such as electricity, mostly missing.

    The streets of Port-au-Prince resembled grainy black-and-white newsreels from World War II that showed the rubble of bombed-out houses in Berlin and London. The devastation was wide and often horrific.

    A one-hour drive from the airport to a walled-in hotel where the CNN contingent is staying revealed the widespread destruction from Tuesday's 7.0-magnitude earthquake.

    Flattened and severely damaged houses were found on every block, and the streets were choked with pedestrians and residents. They set up overnight camps and slept by the thousands in dark and crowded parks and on sidewalks, for fear of being inside if another powerful quake hit.

          Maybe you should check out the website and who it's owned by, maybe a little fact checking before making such a dumb comment.

          You also might want to turn on the news and have the website and same message pop up in your face on every major news station.

          Fucking retard.

              If there really IS a place called hell then people who set up fake donation sites will most certainly end up there

                      CIVMatt makes a lot of statements that are false.

                          You are on the internet... verify its legitimacy before sending the text message, or walk 2 feet to your TV and turn it on. You will see the same message.

                          Don't understand why you people would make stupid comments without checking it out first.

                              Turn on the TV to any major news channel, this is Wyclef Jean's charity. Verify it's legitimacy here: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2007/impact/?hpt=tv ~ it's on the list...

                                  I was at the yele website just hours after the earthquake happened and I don't know, cnn says they are legit, but I just can't bring myself to agree. Something just doesn't feel right.

                                          So donate here: https://re.clintonfoundation.org/SSLPage.aspx?pid=3742

                                          I donated to both places. yele is maxed out at $30 per phone number, Clinton's foundation there is no max, but minimum of $25.

                                          you don't have to donate to this particular charity, go to the list in my post above provided by CNN and use whichever you feel most comfortable with. All the money is going to same place!

                                              Before stating that, read this: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/j...TRY=1&SRETRY=0

                                              It states clearly the men gained penis size during this clinical study. You just sound foolish when you say it doesn't work.

                                                      i would give $5 towards overthrowing the govt, but not for this...

                                                      1/2 the money that gets donated will never see the people it's intended for..

                                                      Haiti is as corrupt as they come...

                                                          Already donated to Shelter Box, they seem to get it. They know that initial needs need to be met and that there is more to an operation like this than what someone has learned about in a book(99% of all volunteer/charitable organizations require a Bachelors degree or better to become a volunteer).

                                                              You can also text "Haiti" to 90999 to give $10 to the Red Cross.

                                                              They say:

                                                              "100% of the donations will go to support the Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.

                                                              An average of 91 cents of every dollar the American Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs."

                                                                                                      so what you are saying is that wyclef is going to take all the money collected and roll down to haiti and go to the store and load up on the things the people need and then personally hand them out?

                                                                                                      if this isnt the case then wyclef's honesty or wealth has little to do with preventing fraud..

                                                                                                                              However, if Haiti was to allow us to install a government of our choice, then I am all for helping them out... Or if Haiti would volunteer say 25,000 of their people to go fight in the middle east, then I am all for helping them out...

                                                                                                                              it reminds me of when the phillipines wanted all US bases off their island and then a volcano hits and they are like "please come help us"... and then had the balls to say we reacted too slowly...

Come to Florida. I use to work with a lot of Haitians, they were always very nice and were always working, never late late, never absent.

                                                                                                                                                      I am all for supporting people in crisis and I do so, but would give more if i KNEW for certain that my money was all going to the victims. Media hasn't been very good at following up on that.

                                                                                                                                                          if this isnt the case then wyclef's honesty or wealth has little to do with preventing fraud..
                                                                                                                                                          Not sure how he's going to go 'buy' the stuff - but he did 'roll down' to Haiti, with his wife and other family members and they are getting down and dirty helping with picking up the dead bodies off the street. His cry for help to the international community is to get them help fast because there are people in the collapsed buildings that may very well be alive, but they don't have the equipment or resources to get them out. While most media is reporting 100,000 dead or missing - he thinks is far more than that, more like 300-400k.

And Yele is a charity ran by Wyclef Jean, I highly doubt he is pocketing any money besides expenses, Haiti is his life and he is rich as hell... but I guess you never know.

However, Internal Revenue Service records show the group has a lackluster history of accounting for its finances, and that the organization has paid the performer and his business partner at least $410,000 for rent, production services, and Jean's appearance at a benefit concert. Though the Wyclef Jean Foundation, which does business as Yele Haiti Foundation, was incorporated 12 years ago--and has been active since that time--the group only first filed tax returns in August 2009. That month, the foundation provided the IRS with returns covering calendar years 2005, 2006, and 2007--the only periods for which it has publicly provided a glimpse at its financial affairs. In 2006, Jean's charity reported contributions of $1 million, the bulk of which came from People magazine in exchange for the first photos of a pregnant Angelina Jolie (the actress reportedly directed that the publication's payment go to Jean's charity, not her personally). As seen on the following pages from the foundation's 2006 tax return, the group paid $31,200 in rent to Platinum Sound, a Manhattan recording studio owned by Jean and Jerry Duplessis, who, like Jean, is a foundation board member. A $31,200 rent payment was also made in 2007 to Platinum Sound. The rent, tax returns assure, "is priced below market value." The recording studio also was paid $100,000 in 2006 for the "musical performance services of Wyclef Jean at a benefit concert." That six-figure payout, the tax return noted, "was substantially less than market value." The return, of course, does not address why Jean needed to be paid to perform at his own charity's fundraiser. But the largest 2006 payout--a whopping $250,000--went to Telemax, S.A., a for-profit Haiti company in which Jean and Duplessis were said to "own a controlling interest." The money covered "pre-purchased...TV airtime and production services" that were part of the foundation's "outreach efforts" in Haiti. No further description of these services was offered, though the return claimed that "the fees paid are below market" and that the use of Telemax was the "most efficient way of providing these services." The group's tax returns also report "consultant" payments totaling $300,000 between 2005-2007, while the 2006 return reported nearly $225,000 in "promotion and PR" costs. These line items are not itemized further in the IRS returns. (6 pages)

The IDEA of it may still be solid (87c+ per dollar used directly for the charity and 13c for overhead or whatever) but someone always makes money.

I better go slit my wrists now, or maybe you should since the big bad world is making you feel bad?

No need to give attitude for a pointless comment I made, boohoo, it was so vulgar I ought to be banned.
