Do You Want to Help?The response community is stressing that financial donations are strongly preferred to commodity contributions. These Websites will give you some options:
NVOAD at www.novad.org, InterAction at www.interaction.org or the Center for International Disaster Information at www.cidi.org These websites provide guidance on active organizations that are seeking support from the public.
The Red Cross is also accepting donations via text message to support their efforts in Haiti. Individuals can text “HAITI” to “90999” and a donation of $10 will be provided to the Red Cross (a $10 charge will appear on the sender’s phone bill).
Please be wary of any email or Internet solicitations for support. Before making an online organization via an unfamiliar website, you should consult the FBI website at http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel10/earthquake011310.htm.
