Haiti

The devastation is amazing and heartbreaking in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Google Maps shows satellite images before and after of certain areas, and it made me want to cry. It is unbelievable that there is so much devastation and death and sorrow. Please, I know that times are hard for everyone, but I am asking you to find a way to donate any amount you can. You can text "Haiti" to 90999 and $20 will be added to your next cell phone bill. Before you decide to donate, please make sure that you are donating to a legitimate charity. Go to this website, to visit Charity Navigator's homepage. They do the research on which charities are legitimate. Unfortunately, there are a lot of very despicable people out there who are setting up false charities to make money off of this tragedy.
