Please Support Haiti
Please support those in need in Haiti and all over the world. I think that Stephanie Pearl-McPhee has added a good and very timely reminder for donations pouring in right now. Her words are specific to Médecins Sans Frontières but I’ve seen similar options on other sites as well.There are directed donation sites set up for Haiti on all of their websites, but I’d like to take a moment to ask you to please make your donation “undirected”. Money given to a specific fund can only be used for that area and making sure your donation is undirected helps them a lot. It lets them keep serving other crises that continue to happen while the world watches Haiti, and more importantly, it allows them to be first responders. On their [MSF] websites when you give there is a drop-down menu that you’ll see called “I would like my gift to be directed to…” and you’ll see a lot of choices. Please consider selecting “Greatest Needs” or “Emergency Relief” so that they can have the flexibility that they need to do their best work.tumblr. has created a quick page of donation links listed here.
