I think this is a wonderful thing you guys are doing. If you havent donated yet. GO DONATE.

But, I have been donating what I can, here and there, at various stores that have the bar code for donations, plus a fast-filling jar at my son's school.

My only hope is that these monies land in the hands of reputable organizations not a corrupt government, including our own.

S.O.S HAITI, HELP, DONATE NOW!

we to here in the states need help and your generosity would help many struggling families right here in the states.

...but not sure I need an app for this. Since I'm already on the internet, might as well go to a donation page instead.

@rw6497 Many of us help our own. It doesn't mean we can't go the extra mile and help others. The situation in Haiti right now make even our homeless look like kings in comparison.

My family and I have donated cothes and money. I hope others chime in as well.

Hell no! This is one app I will never have. America should donate to America. We got enough problems here. How do we all of a sudden have millions just laying around to hand out? America its time to stand up for yourself. We are literally going to drown in debt.

as much as i think it's awesome how people are reacting to the haiti earthquake, i'm a little shocked to see yele on the list of orgs, especially after the allegations that wyclef was lining his pockets by taking a nice cut from the org - the form 990's are posted online.

please donate your money to organizations that can get help down there immediately - like the red cross, doctors without borders, etc. yele is not a emergency relief organization (their president said so himself). even if they do get down there, your money will more likely help do something in the long run - build a school, or something. but right now in haiti they need help immediately.

..the Red Cross's website,...select a cause they want to make a donation to and simply charge it to their credit card. The funds go directly into the REd Cross's account,..of which they are able to use right away,..versus donating by text messages, etc. You can even send an email to a few friends during the process which would encourage them to donate too.

Try it!

Either way we should all do something for someone that is in dire need of help, especially when their backs are pressed against the wall such as those in Haiti.

This is stupid, why not make an app to help the homeless and jobless here in America? Why not take that money and goto your local Salavation Army or you local soup kitchen and help them. We need to help America everyone else can fend for their self. I did not see France, Haiti, Germany or any other country help when Katrina wiped out a whole city that to this day is still suffering. I did not see anyone help when California had a major earthquake. HELP AMERICA FIRST!

Kevin please please stop this .Help Americans .You are doing a disservice to your own people.

... just wow.

I'm really sick of being bombarded every place I go to donate. I have donated to the charity of my choice and certainly don't need an APP to do it.

Yeah help Haiti! We have our own problems but we have too help everyone in need! when their are disasters here other countries laugh at us but we have to rush and help everyone else. And why is it that it is always some black country in need. Africa, Haiti, all the same crap, always poor and always need help!

even if other countries laugh when they see things happen to us its their problem. we are bigger and better than this. americans will always be here. what makes me sick is when i give money to a homeless person here, they run to the nearest liquor store. now that just makes me sick. i have always donate, even though i barely have much to give. but haiti needs help, it wouldnt hurt to give $1 dollar or $5 to a country that never had anything. atleast we know our money is not going towards the liquor store. if im wrong than i wont comment on this subject anymore.

so there is an APP for this now? how crass and in poor taste.

-2 for the crackberry community

Supporting them, for they need us!

Is an app really necessary for this?

Can we get this off the front page somehow??

When china had earthquake which killed more than 88,000 people.

see comment below

While I agree that the USA has it's own set of problems to deal with, the situation with Haiti (and for other countries in which things like this have happened to), it's not about money, who has it, and what it's going towards. It's about having compassion and helping other people. What happened in Haiti can happened here, and at the end of the day, we are all the same regardless of how much we try to separate ourselves by nationality, race, gender, etc. Definitely hokey to say, but it's true.

I love that people donate to help Haiti who is so poor..the whole world should help these who cant help themselves.

Why do we have to close our own schools and every state cut millions from our own childrens education? why do we have so much money but cant help ensure our own future as a nation. We are drowning in debt but they can throw the banks a billion dollar lifeline but not our own states and children.

USA is going to be brought to its knees and the rest of the world will be happy we are just like them...

Help America first

I too am sick of seeing these, apps, commercials etc etc, have you ever seen pictures before the quake, their lives werent much better, it has only currently caught the worlds eye. we need to help our country how many millions of families here have lost their homes, are now hungry, but no one runs to their rescue, when my neighbor lost his home because his company went bankrupt why wasn't there a benefit concert for him.

"13,100 U.S. troops are in and around Haiti" -according to CNN Jan. 22nd. I say we drive a relief effort for THEIR families. Even small things like a means of communication would greatly increase morale... I know I sure appreciated that $10 phone card I got from the USO when I was stuck in BFE without an ATM near the base. Right now the supplies aren't the problem. Lack of man power IS the problem. An app to "SMS" my donation... Yeah right. My donations continue to go to the USO. https://www.uso.org/donate/custom.aspx

Wow. Are we really arguing about whether or not to donate to Haiti??? WTF people?!? If there's a cause you personally feel is worthy of donating towards, then by all means- donate to it. As far as Haiti is concerned it never hurts to help someone in a country with absolutely no resources to help it's people. Ans yes, there are plenty of charities that help US citizens to donate to as well. As I said, if you feel that there is a cause worthy of your donations then bust out your credit card and do it. Don't sit around and argue about who's worthy and who's not.
