The NY Times Lede blog has a large list of organizations and charities who are raising money to send to Haiti. Please consider donating whatever you can spare to help with the rescue and cleanup efforts.
2.08.10 – I removed this post from my blog’s front page, but the link still works, and Haiti could still use your help.
Dr. Chand after being pulled from the Hotel Montana.
Original post: My friend’s mother is somewhere in Haiti right now. Her name is Dr. Sarla Chand, and she was there for work when the earthquake happened (she is not a medical doctor). We have third-hand information that she is alright, but her specific location is unknown. Please take a moment to read this statement by her employer, IMA World Health. Here are the photographs of Dr. Chand and her fellow missing coworkers:
Sarla Chand - FOUND SAFE!
Rick Santos - FOUND SAFE!
Giannie Jean Baptiste - SAFE WITH FAMILY!
Franck Monestime
Execkiel Milar
Ann Varghese - FOUND SAFE!
Ambroise Jean Sylvain
Abdel Direny - FOUND SAFE!
If you have any information about the whereabouts of any of the above, please contact the IMA at the following numbers:
This article lists some of ways that you can help the people of Haiti. It seems obvious, but I’m surprised that they left off the Red Cross’s web site. You can make a general donation here, or text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 via the Red Cross.
I know that not everybody is going to donate. Maybe you didn’t know how to (hint: look up). Maybe you’re broke or on a tight budget or just focusing your donation efforts elsewhere. Whatever your reason is, I hope it’s not because you’re as big a jackass as Pat Robertson.
