Haiti Earthquake Relief Donations

Haiti's earthquake yesterday devistated the country. Its basically destroyed the infrastructure of Haiti's capitol city Port-Au-Prince and levelled a large portion of the city and surrounding areas. Its the worst earthquake that already poor country has experienced in 200+ years.

Its difficult finding credible organizations to donate money if you are willing to help. I did find a very credible source: Former President Clinton's website is a portal to make donations to organizations including the Red Cross. I saw an interview today where the former President quoted the website and its function and at least we know the money's going to go where it is supposed to.

Here's the link to the Clinton Foundation's Earthquake Relief website: Click here or go to http://www.clintonfoundation.org/haitiearthquake

Also, in this day in age of texting, its also easy to make a donation to the Red Cross. Text the word Haiti to 90999 on your cell phone for a one time $10 donation to the Red Cross. The charge will appear on your cell phone bill.
