I received the following request that I am happy to post. A return to normalcy is going to take a long time in Haiti and relief crews will need resources long after the event has passed. Please consider donating to the following organization.
International Medical Corps is a global, humanitarian, nonprofit organization, founded by volunteer doctors and nurses and dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through relief and development programs. Our emergency response team is in Haiti responding in force. There are still thousands of patients seeking treatment of which approximately 80% are in need of surgery and are running out of time – especially with the tremendous aftershocks still devastating this country. The team is treating crush injuries, trauma, substantial wound care, shock and other critical cases with the few available supplies – And they’re in it for the long haul.
Please check out the following link and give if you can:

Thanks very much.
