I've received several requests today to rally the strong CPR support network to help out in this time of need. I'm sure you have all heard about the terrible destruction the earthquake has caused down in Haiti and many have already pitched in to help out. If you haven't, please consider doing what you can to assist, even just a little.
There are many organizations that need our help to better help the people of Haiti right now, some have even made it so easy all you need to do is send a text and that will trigger a small donation. There are many more that have easy online donation sites. Also, if you work for a large firm that matches employee contributions, please make sure to fill out the necessary forms to increase the value of your donations.
Please feel free to use the comments section to suggest additional organizations as well, but here are a few to get it rolling:
The Red Cross: http://american.redcross.org/haiti
Yele.org or text 501501 for 5 dollar donation via your phone bill (this is Wyclef Jean's foundation)
Haitihealth.org (apparently UK Matt's cousin runs this one)
UNICEF (for the kids) https://secure.unicefusa.org/site/Donation2?df_id=6680&6680.donation=form1
