How to help Haiti earthquake victims
On an average month I send over 5,000 text messages; and to many of you that probably seems like a small number.
For once, we've got a chance to use our cell phones, PDAs, Blackberrys, iPhones and Androids to make a difference.
There are two ways that you can help victims on the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
1. Make a donation hip hop star Wyclef Jean's Yéle Haiti charity where you can text YELE to 501501 to give $5 to help with earthquake relief efforts.
2. Donate to the Red Cross, where you can text "HAITI" to "90999" to donate $10 to the Red Cross.
Americans have already donated $11 million through text messages, but that's still nothing compared to the damage done by this horrible natural disaster.
If you can donate, please do so. Several organizations are even holding food and medical drives collecting non-perishable foods and over the counter medical supplies.
