Haitian relief dominates social media
NOTE: If you’re looking for a way to donate to Haiti relief, you can simply text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts. The $10 will be charged to your cell phone bill. If you have Sprint, they are waiving any text message fees for users who are using text to donate to Haiti. The damage done to Haiti is going to cost billions of dollars, and they have little water, clean medical supplies, and are having to use mass graves in order to bury the dead because there are no other alternatives. Please help!
