Thanks for posting this, Nathan. Doctors Without Borders is a great organization and I'm going to post the link for them on my blog as well.

My heart goes out to the people of Haiti. Every time I see pictures and video of the tragedy, I can't help but shed tears for them.

Thanks for posting this.

Another very worthy organization, also already on the ground in Haiti and working there for decades, is Dr. Paul Farmer's Partners in Health, chronicled in Pulitzer-winner Tracy Kidder's bestselling book, _Mountains Beyond Mountains_. If you read the book, you'll know just how vital Partners in Health is to Haiti. www.pih.org is the site to donate. Tracy Kidder commented on Haiti's history and on PIH's unique position to help in the New York Times yesterday http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/14/opinion/14kidder.html

Wyclef Jean was also suggesting text 501501 and type YELE to donate $5. It's so easy to participate. One latte eschewed. Maybe one person saved. How can we not do something?

Nathan – Thank you for posting the link to the New York Times article. Earlier today, I donated to Doctors Without Borders. Tonight, I sat down to read the article and look at the photos. Wow, absolutely heartbreaking.

M Clement Hall – It’s wonderful that you’ve been on missions with Doctors Without Borders and are able to let us know how good they are. I saw a TV show about the organization a while back and was incredibly impressed by what they do. How wonderful that you’ve worked with them!

J.J. Bennett – How wonderful that your uncle’s a doctor working with Doctors Without Borders and that your Mom’s heading over to Haiti to help out.

Warmed my heart to discover real heroes right here on Nathan’s Blog!

2010-01-13T17:58:50.217-08:00

Thanks for the links, Nathan. I've got Doctors Without Borders already pulled up to donate to. They're such an amazing group, and they need support at times like this more than anything.

I've been following the news since yesterday and looking at the images, and I just have a feeling that once we have more information, we're going to discover this is on an even more massive scale than what we already know. I prayers are with everyone there.

How wonderful that a group like Doctors Without Borders exists. I'd not heard of them before. Thank you Nathan for alerting us to this terrible tragedy and what can be done.

2010-01-13T17:24:29.603-08:00

I sent my text to the Red Cross about 10 minutes ago. I wonder, did anybody else get any kind of confirmation message in return?
I'd just like to know that my donation was actually accepted.

Thanks. Donated and posted on my Facebook page.

Thanks so much. I have been looking for the best place to donate. Want to make sure my money reaches the people of Haiti and does not go into organization overhead.

Someone on Twitter suggested Salvation Army, so I am going to research that as well.

I have been on ten emergency missions with Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and can assure your readers there can be no better agency for immediate medical assistance in this desperate situation.
