relief to Haiti
http://www.er-d.org/ I am also giving everyone this link. As the various bishops point out they have the people in place. And, the salaries are paid through other sources so everything is able to go directly to relief.

In addition to giving money, I think one of the best things you can do in response to the earthquakes in Haiti is to GIVE BLOOD.
Money is relatively easy to come by, whether it is loaned, donated online, or texted, but we can't just make more blood. If you can, please visit your local Red Cross and donate plasma or blood.
Charity knows no borders. I hope everyone can help in some way.
Much love & many blessings!
Active 20-30 International is funneling aid through our chapter in Santo Domingo. You can donate via Facebook or make checks to
Active 20-30 Foundation
915 L Street, Suite 1000
Sacramento, CA 95814
Since our organization's operating expenses are covered by our dues, 100% of funds raised from this will go right to Haiti. Via our club connections we can get the money to the street inside 24 hours.
Here is a report from our Past National President Jennifer Norman who currently lives in the Dominican Republic about 6 hours from Port Au Prince:
In addition to any money we raise via posts like this one, each chapter has been challenged to send in $100, which I think we can probably beat pretty handily.
For anyone who has donated to the Red Cross via cell phone, please be aware that the money does not go through until you pay your phone bill. SO DON'T PUT IT OFF
