Assistance to the Haitian earthquake victims

[bigwater]

Note: This will add ten dollars to your next month's cell phone bill.

If you wish to donate ten dollars to the American Red Cross to help them assist the victims of the earthquake, text "Haiti" to 90999. You will be sent back a confirmation. Reply with "yes" if you still want to donate, or "no" if you change your mind.

These folks have it real bad right now. Thousands of people dead and wounded, the entire city of Port au Prince leveled, and the Red Cross has already ran out of medical supplies. If you have ten bucks to spare, please consider helping out.

I texted as you instructed. No reply yet.

P.S. Tough luck for those people. I hope there won't be powerful aftershocks and tsunami like events.

Confirmed and donated $10.

P.S. It takes good several minutes to get confirmation text.

Strange, I got mine almost instantly, but I did it late at night/early morning.

Usually aftershocks occur very shortly after the main earthquake, so luckily, the chances of a powerful aftershock at this time are slim.
