Like the rest of you, I’m heartsick over what’s happening in Haiti. The media images are too much. If you can help, Chris Sacca has a list of ways to do it (via Dooce).

Thank you for posting this. I was on a humanitarian deployment to Haiti this summer. The living conditions then, before the earthquake, were shocking. The amount of need there for things we look at as basic necessities is shocking, and to add such a horrible disaster on top of this is unimaginable. Thank you.
I have never been but I have friends that lived and worked there for several years, and they are currently on the list of those worrying about friends and loved ones. Two organizations they said were reputable places to make donations to were the Red Cross http://www.redcross.org (which, in Haiti, is run by an acquaintance of theirs) and an organization called HELP http://www.haitianeducation.org
Again, both are reputable organizations if anyone is able and chooses to support them.
