Help for Haiti

Being that I'm currently in the islands I can't help but feel physically closer to the trauma that has been going on in Haiti and want to do something (I awoke this morning to find out there was another big earthquake yesterday). I'm very appreciative for all I have and think these kinds of events tend to bring about that gratitude as well as a sympathy for others that aren't as fortunate. We can all give something- time, effort, goods, money...

For those of you in the NY area, here's a list of events raising funds for relief and donation centers on my roommate Jen's blog: http://jenniferpainter.blogspot.com/2010/01/httpidealistnyc.html

And for those of you not in the NY area, here's a fashionable way to contribute- a special Lady Gaga tee with all proceeds going to the relief effort that I found on Perez Hilton's blog: http://cocoperez.com/2010-01-19-lady-gaga-gets-haiti-helpful

These are just some of the MANY, MANY ways you can help. Or you can just go to one of the donation sites like Yelle, founded by Wycleaf Jean, or Haiti Relief Fund for ways to help or make a simple donation.
