Help Haiti
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti and all those who have loved ones there. I went to church recently and heard first hand accounts of the disaster. Seeing the images on the news and hearing these stories breaks my heart. I’ve donated and I’m looking for all my fierce fans to help out too! Even if you can only spare $1 – every little bit helps! Did you know that for just 50 cents you could provide a family of 4 with clean water for a month??
Here is a list of charities that are helping to provide relief for those suffering in Haiti:
Starbucks
In response to the Haitian relief effort, Starbucks committed support and funding to the growing international relief effort. Participating Starbucks stores in the U.S. and Canada will enable customers to make monetary donations at store registers, with no purchase necessary, to benefit the American and Canadian Red Cross organizations for a limited time. The Starbucks Foundation will also donate $1 million (U.S.) from The Starbucks Foundation to the American Red Cross efforts to help Haiti.
Visit your local STARBUCKS store to donate!
American Red Cross
The American Red Cross is working with its partners in the global Red Cross and Red Crescent network, including the Haitian Red Cross, and other partners to assist those affected by the earthquake. Your gift will support emergency relief and recovery efforts including deploying personnel, sending relief supplies, and providing financial resources.

Lakay Pam
On February 12, 2010 Victoria Secret supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio will be hosting a fundraiser at the Opera Gallery in NYC for Lakay Pamin order to raise money for the orphans of Haiti. The orphanage is receiving new children at their doorstep every day and needs help to provide them clean diapers, food, water and much more.

PSI
PSI has been working in Haiti for more than 20 years and had 100 staff on the ground when the earthquake struck. Its top priority now, beyond ensuring the safety and security of all staff members, is to make certain there is an ongoing supply of clean drinking water for those in need.

Doctors Without Borders/MSF
Doctors Without Borders/MSF has been working in Haiti for 19 years, most recently operating three emergency hospitals in Port-au-Prince, and is mobilizing a large emergency response to this disaster. They are currently reinforcing their teams on the ground in order to respond to the immediate medical needs and to assess the humanitarian needs that MSF will be addressing in the months ahead.
