Harities that need people to physically help in Haiti instead of donate On January 12th a 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti's capital, Port-Au-Prince and caused massive devastation to the city. The death toll is expected to be well in the thousands and a massive response by government agencies and non-profits has already begun. Here are a few of our 3 and 4-star charities responding to the crisis along with a synopsis of their plans.

Each of these charities has a history of working on massive disasters and/or of working in Haiti. * American Red Cross - The ARC is sending tarps, hygiene items and cooking sets for approximately 5,000 families and is helping the injured who may need blood. Thousands of local Red Cross volunteers are already aiding their fellow Haitians and ARC Disaster management specialists are scheduled to be on the ground soon.

* Americares - Sending $5 million of medical aid to survivors including antibiotics, pain relievers, bandages and medical supplies for survivors with trauma injuries. * CARE - Deploying emergency team members to Port-au-Prince and will be distributing food.

Donate via SMS to the Haiti Earthquake Charities Donating money towards a good cause is some of the easiest help that one can offer. While even physically dropping $10 into a box is a hassle, mobile carriers are helping to make it easy to give. To donate $10 to the Red Cross, people can text "HAITI" to 90999.

After a confirmation a text, the donation will be put through and charged into the subscriber's wireless bill. All giving aside, it seems that not all mobile carriers are being as charitable as their users when it comes to giving towards the Haiti cause, as detailed in an MSNBC story. Sprint customers not on an unlimited text messaging plan will be charged for their donation texts, but company representatives point out that many of its customers are on text messaging plans."If a customer does not use any of these options, standard text messaging charges will apply, but they can switch to an unlimited plan" or text message plan "at anytime without extending their contract," said a Sprint spokeswoman.

AT&T customers have also been charged for their contributions, though the company did clarify that it will be crediting bills back retroactively. Both Verizon and T-Mobile waive the text message charge for all donation texts. Jeffrey Nelson, Verizon Wireless spokesman, said that not charging for the text is a way the carrier can "support non-profits who are tipping their toes into the mobile giving water.

""All mobile texters in the United States have contributed $4 million to the Red Cross Haiti earthquake relief effort," said Nelson, characterizing it "the largest outpouring of charitable support by texting in history — by far.
