Text "Haiti" to 90999 Today
If you want to do something to help the people of Haiti-- or do more-- then text the word Haiti to 90999 today. Your action will immediately donate $10 to the Red Cross. Using this method will ensure that all $10 go directly to the Red Cross, and the major US wireless carriers won't even charge you for the text itself. It is the most efficient means to get your money to those who need it most.
In any crisis, the response in the early days is the most important and will save the most lives. Acting now could literally save a life-- today, this weekend, or next week. So please don't wait.
If you can send this message on to others through the web, e-mail, Facebook or Twitter, please do. We just sent it to more than 25,000 on the NDN list. This method has already raised $8 million from over 700,000 people. Our hope is that we double that in the next few days. Taking this step and asking others to do so will help us reach our next important goal.
Thank you,
Simon & the NDN team
Mon Jan 18, 5pm Update: 90999 has now raised more than $21m, almost triple where we were when we sent this message out on Friday. Thanks to everyone who has taken part in this inspiring effort. But lets keep going my friends. We can do more.
And thanks to Arianna Huffington for putting this message from me on the front page of the Huffington Post all day on Friday. Huff Po has really stepped up. Been exciting to watch.
