01/17/2010: "Haiti Help"

As you will be aware, Haiti was hit with a devastating Earthquake last week. There are many ways to help. If you would like to make a donation, here are a couple of options for you to utilise...


WWE.Com;
Relief efforts are intensifying to address the devastation caused by the earthquake that hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The devastation has been significant, with estimates of more than 3 million people - one third of Haiti - impacted by the disaster.

Among those responding is AmeriCares, which is sending $5 million worth of medical aid to survivors. AmeriCares has deployed an emergency response team to Haiti and has established distribution operations in the Dominican Republic and Miami to stage medical assistance and relief supplies for delivery into Haiti over the coming days and weeks. Medicines and supplies are critically needed in Haiti right now.

You can help by making a donation to AmeriCares, WWE's Disaster Relief Partner, at this link or you can donate by texting the word LIVE to 25383 to donate $10 (if you live in the US)

"I have over 10,000 followers I'm hoping each sends at least $1 & asks their followrs 2 do the same PayPal - Wrestlers4Haiti@gmail.com"
Wrestling legend, Mick Foley, pledged to match the proceeds raised by Wrestlers 4 Haiti up to $2500, a number which was exceeded.
"Wrestlers 4 Haiti raised $5,097.23 in just a little over 48 hrs. and there's still more coming in! Thank you to everyone that gave!"

I have donated 20 pounds (around $30ish), personally. I will also be donating a similar amount towards the end of the week, in Lainys name, as she has asked me to do that instead of buy her a birthday present. I hope everyone else is as generous as her!
