On January 12, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti. The devastation is unimaginable. Latest reports estimate that as many as 50,000 Haitians have lost their lives and approximately 3 million people are injured in need of immediate medical attention. The next 48 hours are critical. There is a serious lack of medical supplies, potable water and food. Additionally, the country has no power. In a country where 80 percent of its people are below the poverty level, you can imagine the incredible battle these people face.

I implore you to join in helping the earthquake victims.

Donating is easy. Simply text “Haiti” to 90999 on your cell phone. A $10 donation will go to Red Cross – and is backed backed by the U.S Department of State (more info). You donation will appear on your next cell phone bill.

The mobile giving effort has raised more thn $3 million by latest reports this afternoon, and ALL money raised goes directly to support Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.

Thank you for your help and compassion.

When she slips on a walk and is aided by a penniless young writer, she invites him to dine at the Claremont and plays along when her dining mates assume he’s her grandson.
