International Medical Corps is also a good organization to consider donating to if you want to help. They have mobile medical clinics set up to help with the massive needs and are doing their best to respond. More updates are available at http://www.imcworldwide.org/Page.aspx?pid=801.

The UMC has had a permanent Haitian presence since 2005. They're poised as one of the more reliable to me. They have everything from people already on the ground, hospitals, and some semblance of infrastructure on top of report with the locals. They're taking donations of disaster kits and cash.

I hope you're joking.

If you can't sacrifice two meals at Bojangles to help out a country that may have lost over 100,000 people and thousands more are injured or homeless, you are a pathetic piece of shit.

^haha, wikipedia and several other articles I flipped through seem to support Boukman (Voodoo priest) pledging 200 years of service combined with drinking of pigs blood that is now a statue. If nothing else that's freakin' creepy.

I did this yesterday. I did confirm it was legit via the red cross' twitter page first. I mean, it's like the cost of one meal or 12 pack of beer that I'm sure to buy in the next week. I'm pretty sure a lot of you can spare it, but aren't used to donating money. Just do it.

I need to worry about having money for shit I need before I worry about buying shit for people who I'll never interact with. I'll give some money here and there to homeless people and people that come to me truly in need, but people i'll never meet? go ahead and tell them i said "yeah dude, it sucks that country had an earthquake, but that doesn't make me financially responsible for you." if they're wondering where that 10 is.

That's actually the worst way to help people out. If you want to do some good, you should donate to worthwhile charities. Not random bums that harass you on H'boro for beer money.

Probably not, but somebody in the USA would send money, you have to remember we are a huge wealthy country that can mobilize resources. Generally a natural disaster only affects a small portion of our population. Haiti takes up half of an island.

nuttin wrong with helpin out bums, yea the might be needing drugs and shit but hell the motherfucker could rob your ass instead. give em a little money let em live their lives. Its hopeless for a lot of these guys to ever get back on their feet and even the ones truly down on their luck actually do use the money to get dressed and cleaned up enough to get a job interview

some are tryna get money to send child support and shit

some are tryin some are not, i choose not to determine that because it aint possible

I'm all for helping out and this is a great cause, but just once I'd like to see some other country be the spearhead on one of these things.

Where's China? They want to be the big boy. Well put on the big boy pants and do something. How about Russia? They want to be a superpower again. Well start acting like one.

"Help began arriving early Thursday when an Air China plane carrying a Chinese search-and-rescue team, medics and aid landed at Port-au-Prince airport, and more than 50 people in orange jumpsuits got out accompanied by trained dogs.

The U.S. and other nations said they were sending food, water, medical supplies to assist the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation, where the international Red Cross estimated 3 million people — a third of the population — may need emergency relief."

I just realized that I actually texted to 90999 which is the Red Cross' fund. Looks like 20222 goes to the Clinton Foundation's fund.

Shortly after midnight, @RedCross updated: "You can text "HAITI" to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts in #haiti." The "hashtags" denote topics, and users can search the Twitterverse for keywords.

you can also text Text "YELE" to 501501 to donate $5 to Wyclef Jean's Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund.

We did Wyclef's and the Red Cross donation.

Stiller Strong is taking all of its money donated now, which was already going to build schools in Haiti, towards the earthquake relief if you want to donate there. http://stillerstrong.org/

Once we rebuild the capital with Hilton hotels, Marriotts, other 5 star clubs/hotels, Walmarts, McDonalds (one on each block), Dicks Sporting Goods, Food Lions, Cookouts, a state of the art prison(s)/hospitals, kick ass airport (sorta like Atlanta) etc, might be a great place to go visit in 5 years! Maybe we can get a perm base on Haiti like with Cuba out of the deal!

Agreed. All the citizens can move stateside and we can make it a tourist trap.
