Everyone is looking for a way to Help Haiti. Luckily, there’s no shortage of methods to do so.
With the ability to disseminate reports of destruction and lives lost instantaneously via outlets such as Twitter, the crisis in Haiti falls at an opportune time for assistance.
While other natural disasters this past decade, such as Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 tsunami, received help, the instant outpour of help for Haiti has been unbelievable. Never before has it been so easy to contribute than it is now. Just 2 minutes ago I was prompted on my cell phone to text HELP to Rogers Canada to donate $5.00 towards the cause. It took approximately 5 seconds of my day to donate $5.00. Truly incredible.
Though we sometimes complain about the constantly plugged-in nature of our world, today we can finally see that the benefits can be reaped in the appropriate places.
