If you REALLY want to make a difference for the desperate situation in Haiti right now (& reports say it's as bad as it can be), please make a financial donation to MercyCorps, CARE, or the American Red Cross. These orgs know how to work quickly in chaos zones, but these efforts (up-to-date medicines, supply planes, fuel, etc.) are *crazy expensive*. Please, no clothing drives or food drives -- it's CASH that will pay for the things people need right now.
I've got a lot of UN friends there right - HQ collapsed & there's no word on casualties. Very worried.
