Before and after: the Presidential Palace in Haiti

Well, enough has been said by more intelligent writers than me about the unspeakably horrible tragedy in Haiti.  They need money, supplies, and bodies down there to assist in the rescue efforts.  Here is a quick list of places to send your financial support:

YeleHaiti- this is Wyclef Jean’s charity; they’ve already raised more than two million bucks and are just getting started.

The American Red Cross- you can also donate through the ITunes store.  Or by text:  I’ll let our gorgeous and brilliant First Lady, Michelle Obama, tell you how:

MercyCorps- also has lots of info about how to volunteer time and supplies.

Google Crisis Response

Action Against Hunger- have been working in Haiti since 1985.

The disaster in Haiti has, for me, really put our recession and national financial troubles in perspective.  We have a moral and humane duty to give what we can spare (and what we can’t)- whether it’s our time, resources or good old cash money.    We all need to come together and help this shaken branch of our human family.
