Help 4 Haiti: Text Your Donation

By Heather Ray

Emergency aid is desperately needed following the massive earthquake in Haiti. For anyone interested in donating, make sure your dollars are in reliable, helping hands. These trusted organizations are now accepting financial gifts online or via text.

The American Red Cross can accept $10 donations, charged to your cell phone bill, by texting HAITI to 90999; or donate through their Web site.

Haitian-born musician Wyclef Jean has established the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund, which is also setup to receive online and text donations. Visit yele.org or text YELE to 501501 to contribute $5 to the relief fund.

Two other notable international groups have set up sites to aid the people affected by the Haiti disaster—UNICEF and Doctors Without Borders.
