Like everyone else, seeing the photos of the devastation in Haiti has moved me to tears, but more than that, it's moved me to help. I found a venue for aid that I'd never heard of before through Linnea Sinclair's Yahoo group.
Bonnie Vanak's real job is as an aide worker with Food For The Poor in Haiti and other third world countries in our hemisphere.
You can see some of Bonnie’s aide work here: My Travels.
From Bonnie via the group:
We can donate to her organization at http://www.foodforthepoor.org
This is the donation page for donations on the web.
Tell them to just put "Haiti earthquake" in the comments page and the donation will be earmarked for that purpose.
ALSO:
Musician Wyclef Jean set up a site to support Haiti back in 2005. They are collecting $$, and every cent goes to the relief. You can text “yele” to 501501 to donate $5 to the Yéle Haiti Earthquake Fund (it charges on your cell phone bill).
For more info and to donate more $$, you can visit here: http://www.yele.org
