How you can help

[sabotabby]

A massive earthquake in Haïti has left thousands dead. Since bcholmes is in the Toronto Haiti Action Committee and just got back from there, I dashed over to her LJ to see who she'd suggested donating to if you want to help.

Canadians: Médecins sans Frontières (a.k.a. Doctor's without Borders) (I donate pretty regularly to them anyway.)

Americans: Partners in Health or Médecins sans Frontières.

Earthquakes may be a natural, unstoppable phenomenon, but their effects are made more devastating by poverty and lack of infrastructure, a situation for which we in North America bear a large amount of responsibility.

At any rate, please do what you can. I will too.

EDIT: More suggestions from skywardprodigal.

I just donated to MSF. Thanks for the tip. This is so terrible.
