Haiti Relief

As we all know by now, Haiti has gone through a horrifying natural disaster. Its been absolutely heart wrenching seeing the images coming out of there on all the major news networks and publications. Haitians, who have lived mergerly (and thats stretching), have lost everything....absolutely everything. Millions of people around the world are now focusing their attention on this small impoverished nation and doing whatever they can, even if its only something small as donating 5 dollars. As been reported, getting supplies into the country is a logistical nightmare, and what is really needed is money more then anything. So, I'm going to post some links for anyone who would like to give as much or as little as you can.

Donating by Text Messages (as of now all Cell Phone providers, except for Sprint, are waving all text message fees for donation texts) available through:
Yele (non-profit organization started up by former Fugees member Wyclef Jean in 2005) by texting "YELE" to 501501 you will be donating $5USA
Red Cross (America) by texting "HAITI" to 90999 you will be donating $10USA

For a list of charitable organizations operating in Haiti to donate to check Here(posted by MSNBC) also, I was informed that AmEx,Visa and Mastercard are all waving fees on donations to certain Haiti relief charities.

I also just learned that OMGWTF Barbecue has set up a sky box with items from various SL designers, with all proceeds benefiting the Red Cross Internationl Response Fund. Read more about that HERE


Let us all keep Haiti in our thoughts and prayers.
