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.”

So how can you help?

Here is a list of the organizations which you can coordinate with:

Action Against Hunger
American Red Cross
American Jewish World Service
AmeriCares
Beyond Borders
CARE
Catholic Relief Services
Childcare Worldwide
Direct Relief International
Doctors Without Borders
Feed My Starving Children
Friends of WFP
Haitian Health Foundation
Hope for Haiti
International Medical Corps
International Relief Teams
Medical Teams International
Meds and Food for Kids
Mercy Corps
Operation USA
Oxfam
Partners in Health
Samaritan’s Purse
Save the Children

Yele Haiti

You can text Yele to 501 501 to donate $5.

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.
