    Help Haiti Now
    Posted by on January 14, 2010 10:14am in Charity, Live Performance

    The horrible earthquake in Haiti has put out a worldwide call for action and aid. There are numerous reputable charities working to get aid to the devastated country, while disaster relief teams from the US and elsewhere on their way, and others already in place.

    Musician Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti has set up a texting donation program; by texting “Yele” to 501501 you can donate $5 or visit www.Yele.org and click “Donate.” Jean told The Insider

    Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced. I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now.

    Unik Ernest, a New York nightlife entrepreneur whose whose Edeyo Foundation has built a school and provides meals, books and libraries for children in Port Au Prince told Tonic.com that his famous friends like Mark Wahlbergand Tommy Hilfiger

    called him and offered “to support any initiative (Edeyo is) planning at this moment,”

    Ernest also claims he’s planning a telethon and a benefit concert

    tentatively scheduled for the first two weeks of February. Celebrities he says will be involved include: Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ashton Kutcher, Usher, John Legend, Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, Wyclef Jean, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Kerri Washington, Susan Sarandon and others.

    I’ll take a wait and see on that. That energy, effort and money for setting up a concert and telethon could go directly to charities like Save the Children, Unicef, and The Red Cross which also has a texting program in place– you can donate $10 to help rescue Haitians by texting the word HAITI to 90999 — and a $10 charge will show up on your phone bill.

    Rihanna Daily has already donated, now it’s your turn!

    Other options include

    TransAfrica
    https://donate.pih.org/page/contribute/haiti_earthquake?source=earthquake&subsource=homepage

    or Doctors W/o Borders

    or the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center Earthquake Relief for Haitian Workers’ Campaign

    The 150,000-member National Nurses United issued an urgent call last night through its nationwide  disaster relief network to recruit nurse volunteers to assist Haiti. Twitter updates here:

    The Fire Fighters union also is mobilizing. Search and rescue teams from Fairfax County, Va., and Los Angeles County, Calif., Locals 2068 and 1014, are preparing to head to Haiti to aid in the rescue efforts. Other teams are likely to follow.

      Everyone needs to help Haiti, this could have happened to any country , any of us could have been in their shoes today needing help, worrying about love ones, are they alive and how they are doing and heart broken, can’t get in touch and so on – so I urge each and everyone to donate money. I think donating through your cell phone is a superb idea, I have already donated and will continue to do so – every little helps in big ways.

      This disaster is too close to the heart to be neglected.

      My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by this untimely disaster.

      I love how leonardo, Ashton, brad& Angelina, Rihanna, diddy and jay z (not sure about his wife) and others are always the first big celebz to help. They are mainly the ones that always help first when any crisis happen. That’s a good thing.
