Get help to Haiti.

Wondering what to do for Haiti? The best thing you can do is donate money—no matter how small the amount—right now.* And there are lots of ways to do that.

Partners In Health (PIH) has been working in Haiti for over 20 years. Visit their site to donate and for instant updates from Port-Au-Prince.
—The Red Cross is, of course, always on the front lines and has many donation options that will directly aid Haitian earthquake victims.
Engineers Without Borders has several projects already underway throughout Haiti.
The Road to Fondwa is currently donating 100% of DVD sales toward relief efforts in Haiti.
Heath Ceramics (who I love) is currently donating 25% of all of their online and in-store sales to Haiti relief through Architecture for Humanity.

Imagine if this happened in your village, town, city, and/or country. Haiti is an incredible place — see Justin’s fantastic film for details — and only 681 miles from my home state of Florida.

*Additionally, orthopedic surgeons, trauma surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, nurse anesthetists, post-op nurses, and surgical technicians with trauma experience are desperately needed in Haiti. If your qualifications match any of these needs, please fill out the form here: standwithhaiti.org
