Other groups that are well established in Haiti, as mentioned, are Partners in Health and Doctors Without Borders. I just got back from Haiti Monday, and the need is immense and will continue to be so for a people who had almost nothing before the earthquake, and have less now.<br /><br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13232408998872137198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-10524558917471581632010-01-18T08:48:09.634-05:002010-01-18T08:48:09.634-05:00I'm personally donating £1 for every comment/ ...I'm personally donating £1 for every comment/ messgae of support left on my blog to the Haiti relief support.

Little donations make a huge difference - we were told in a meeting yesterday that the text $10 campaign alone has raised over four million dollars. As of this morning, it's up to eight million. And that's just one of many, many places where people are currently giving.<br /><br />We don't need people or supplies right now - we can't even get ones we've already got into Port-au-Prince yet - but small donations from a large number of people really adds up. And keep in mind that the Red Cross and other charities will be there for years trying to rebuild. We're still working on tsunami damage from 2004. This is going to be a long haul, so even if you can't donate now, please remember us in the future.<br /><br />Thank you so much!Melhttp://www.redcross.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-14281806315146176282010-01-15T11:11:26.518-05:002010-01-15T11:11:26.518-05:00Americares.orgAmericares.orgTrixie61noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-91934042280108488542010-01-15T09:50:54.697-05:002010-01-15T09:50:54.697-05:00admirable heart,
