All of my life I've heard this charity plea: "If everyone would just give one dollar..."
Well we are now in the digital age and it's easier than ever.
THIS will be the new way to give quickly. It's a great idea.
I just hope the money gets where it is supposed to this time.

Americans are turning to their cell phones to donate money via text message for Haitian relief efforts, pledging more than $7 million so far, including more than $5 million to the American Red Cross."In 36 hours, donations made via mobile phones for Haiti earthquake relief have surpassed $7 million," the Mobile Giving Foundation said in a statement Thursday. The Bellevue, Wash.-based nonprofit group has worked with the country's four major wireless carriers to arrange for the text-message donation program.

Jeffrey Nelson, Verizon Wireless spokesman, called the campaign "the largest outpouring of charitable support by texting in history — by far."



You can dial
90999
from your cell phone and type
HAITI
and 10 bucks will be sent from your phone bell to the Red Cross.
Small token for all the big bucks we've been making lately.

This is a great picture, it deserves to be somewhere, don't know where. It speaks volumes on what happened.
