We can all do without some things in life. So, if you’re going the movie theater this weekend, or perhaps out to a fancy dinner, skip on the desert, or the popcorn and pop. Use that $5, $10 or $15 dollars and donate it to something. Perhaps, the disaster relief in Haiti. Because if one earthquake isn’t enough, they have now had a second (6.0) earthquake that has rocked them again!
If you’re in Canada, and on Rogers, Fido or Bell, text “haiti” (without the quotes) to 45678. Then respond with “yes” and $5 will automatically be donated to the Salvation Army for help in Haiti. Let’s send an aftershock of donations.
Thanks for bearing with me.
–UPDATE–
Apparently it wasn’t a 6.0 quake. It was a 6.1. And for more donation options try this:
- The American Red Cross is accepting donations by phone. You can text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross’s efforts, or call 1-800-Redcross or 1-800-257-7575. Visit their Web site to find out more.
- Interaction, the largest coalition of U.S.-based NGOs focused on the world’s poor, has set up a Haiti relief donation page, listing several participating organizations where you can donate.
- UNICEF is also accepting donations for the relief efforts in Haiti and the Caribbean region. Visit their Web site or call 1-800-4UNICEF to donate.
