Haiti needs our help.
Raymond Joseph, Haiti’s ambassador to the U.S. told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer by telephone, “I’m calling on all friends of Haiti and people who are listening to me to please come to our aid.”

If you wish to donate $10 via your phone bills, you can text “HAITI” to 90999. The amount will be automatically given to Red Cross to finance relief efforts.
For Americans who want to get in touch with their families in Haiti, you can call 1-888-407-4747, but be prepared to wait because a lot of callers are trying to get through. Communications within the nation are very difficult as this time, according to the US State Department.
