Over 8 million dollars so far donated to Haiti just from text messages!
The good thing is it's better than pledges as once you make the
donation, it comes directly out of your phone bill and you really can't
"not bother to pay up". Anyway, my point is, 8 million just from the
phone text system from Americans, not even counting the hundreds of
Charities folks are pouring money into. In contrast, India and China
have "pledged" a lousy 1 million dollars each.

Why do we do it, because nobody else will.. God Bless America!

Add to that the $100 million pledged by the USG and considering that the
pledges from India and China are probably gov't financed and we get a little
clearer picture of what's been obligated by who.
Tough part will be to keep the local and international lowlifes from
stealing large chunks of this kitty.
