Are you planning to make a personal donation to relief efforts in Haiti? (border, solution)

Since Clinton, 3 billion dollars have been sent to Haiti. Where is it? Where did it go? Who got it? Where and on what was it spent?

Good thing we have people like you. Unlike some of the other selfish people in this forum.

Yes but in cases like this I encourage to send additional aid.
Even if it is 5 bucks. I think there is a way you can text the red cross and the donation will be added to your cell phone bill.

I will try to post that info if I find it.

I feel for the Hatians, but another "disaster" closer to home has made it difficult to keep a roof over my own head. Thus, I have nothing to give.

My company is instituting drives and it seems nearly everyone is onboard, myself included.

I was pleased to see this today. I hope some other organizations follow suit.

"The U.S. Fund for UNICEF is absorbing all associated administrative costs so that 100% of every dollar you give to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF will support UNICEF's relief efforts for children in Haiti."

Anyone donating should give to "Doctors Without Borders"

We donated to UNICEF and ARC. I just learned of a website which is great for navigating where your charities go, charitynavigator.org. There's lots of good info including salaries for CEOs etc.

On the contrary it's the solution right now, you better believe it.
