Help Haiti

A large earthquake has caused major devastation in Haiti.

Many of us have visited the Caribbean and have fallen in love with the islands and the people. If you want to help the people of Haiti, here are a few options:

For those interesting in helping immediately, simply text "HAITI" to "90999" and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill.

You can also text "YELE" to 501501 to donate $5 via your cellphone. Yele is Wyclef Jean's grassroots organization.

In addition, MSNBC has a long list of relief organizations you can donate to.

At this time, there is no reported damage to the all inclusive resort areas of the Dominican Republic.
