Aid for Haiti

2010-01-15T01:38:02Z

By now I think everyone's heard about the Earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12th - 7.0 on the Richter Scale; the death toll is expected to be in the tens of thousands and many are homeless. Aid organizations are having a hell of a time getting through the rubble to help, having to dig out those who were trapped in the collapsed buildings. If anyone hasn't already seen the pictures of the destruction, these are some before & after photos via Google Maps satellite images and these were taken on the ground (the second link includes photos of the deceased). Very little in Port-au-Prince seems to have escaped unscathed. If you can help out, there's several sites & methods available - Visa, Mastercard, and AMEX have also now said they will be dropping their percentage cut for donations made to certain charities for Haiti.

UPDATE: A 6.1 magnitude Aftershock hit Haiti this morning, 20 January 2010.

Please be aware that monetary donations are being requested at this time rather than goods.
