Tragic.

Damon Winter/The New York Times

I wanted to provide our readers with information on how you can help assist with disaster relief in Haiti.  There are many organizations that are helping, but we want to recommend the following for the information they provide, the assistance they send to the affected regions and their ability to accept donations  specifically directed towards Haitian Earthquake relief.

We send our thoughts and well wishes to any of you with family or friends in the areas affected by the recent events.

Red Cross -  You can go to their website or you can text “HAITI” to “90999″ and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts and charged to your cell phone bill. (verified by the U.S. State department)

Direct Relief, Unicef, and World Vision are also very good options.
