Cash (Not Goods) is King When it Comes to Supporting Relief Efforts

Yesterday I wrote about an idea that encouraged Super Bowl attendees to bring relief items with them to Miami in hopes that this could assist in providing aid to the Haiti relief effort. However, after reading this post (Haiti:Help With Money Not Stuff) it became apparent that donating cash, and not goods, is the best way to help.

The most popular and perhaps the easiest way to do this is to donate funds via a mobile phone by texting "Yele" to the number 501501

(Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti Foundation)or the word "Haiti" to 90999 (Red Cross).
