Today, it seems irresponsible to post about anything except the tragic earthquake in Haiti. The death toll is currently estimated between 30,000 and 100,000 but could be much higher.
The two best sites I’ve seen for clarifying how anyone can help are:
Google’s Disaster Relief site (thanks to my friend Chris Czerwonka for pointing this one out)
It’s inspiring to see that the Red Cross has already raised over $800,000 by their text HAITI to 90999 to donate, program.
Retailer Lowe’s has also donated $1M and turned all Lowe’s locations into Red Cross donation sites.
Anonymous donors are stepping up:
As are well known celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Others are on their way to Haiti
And some docs and nurses are flying free, courtesy of American Airlines:
Alltop has a page with lots of links.
Boston.com has posted many photos from the quake.
I’m impressed by the way that America and other countries have rallied to help Haiti and I’m thankful for the social tools that enable the information and aid to spread and grow faster than ever.
Please help in any way you can. Thank you.
