#1 Thank you for posting the Red Cross link. Also check your local paper and online for other reputable aid agencies. Our family knows that the Southern Baptist International Mission Board is one of the most efficient and well-run organizations for delivering aid in emergencies like this, and so we give through them even though we do not attend an SBC church.

Somebody on Thursday commented to the effect that the years of misrule in Haiti were just cause to abandon the place. I hope that person can look in the mirror and shudder at what he sees there. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and thank God that, unlike Haitians, you have a fire department and cops and EMS in your neighborhood should you need them.

#2 Maybe worth mentioning that the American Red Cross (at the link) is NOT the same thing as the feckless International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

Nor is it the same the Red Crescent which former POTUS Clinton mentioned on teevee this week as a possible contribution venue...along with of course, his Clinton Foundation.
