Haiti text donation
Through a deal w/ AT&T Twitter and Red Cross, you can donate $10 to Red Cross and Haiti relief instantly by texting 90999 into your phone, then enter Haiti and $10 goes straight to the relief effort, charged to your cell phone bill. It's so terrible. Makes our life, the "hardships" of a difficult ex husband etc seem like a routine trip to the dentist- Even in our difficulties we have SO MUCH BOUNTY. Heart out to Haiti and all people living without the basics. I know some on this site are very close to that- heart out to you too.

definitely. i felt petty when i was debating how much to give. such a perspective giving event. thanks for the tip.
using your cell phone. Yele is the organization that Wyclef Jean started in Haiti - it's community-based/grassroots style organization.
Text "Yele" to 501501 and this will automatically donate $5 to Yele's Earthquake Fund.
Here is Yele's interim (for earthquake relief) website:

I was starting to get all impatient when my doctor kept me waiting for an hour today. Then I thought about all of those people who desperately need medical attention and will have to wait days or weeks for it, and I was just grateful to be sitting in that office. Thanks for posting this - I will forward to all my friends. I can't even wrap my brain around what it must be like in Haiti right now.
one lame thing though: all wireless carriers have agreed to drop charges for the haiti donation texts...EXCEPT sprint. asswipes.
Passed it on, thanks!
