{Reposted from my eFriend Mallory's blog...I just donated $10 via text message}
Read this article.
Really, just take the 5 minutes and read it please.
Did you read the part that states there could be as many as 100,000 dead? Or maybe even up to 500,000 dead?? Or more???? I can't even imagine the heartache involved in such a disaster.
For those interested in helping immediately (YOU AND ME!),simply text "HAITI" to "90999" and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill (I checked it out and it's 100% legit, set up by the mGive Foundation. Every penny of that $10 goes straight to the Red Cross). Once you text, they will text you back asking to confirm. Reply "YES". They will send you 2 more texts and you just reply "STOP" to never hear from them again. Simple as can be.
Or you can go online to organizations like the Red Cross and Mercy Corps to make a contribution to the disaster relief efforts.
Well you just made my day :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting! I think waaay too often we all just sit back and think about how much we would LIKE to help, but never really raise a finger.
Thanks again!
It's so easy to text. I heard they've made a ton of money through texting. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteI felt helpless, reading about it and looking at all the pictures. Thank you for letting me know. I did it and I am glad I could do something.
