If you are going to donate through a credit card as of now capital one is the only company that is waving the administrative fees. Please use a capital one card or go through their no hassle giving website.
The yele text to 501501 works. It's the quickest and easiest way to donate. Yele has foot on the ground. Wyclef flew to Haiti right after the earthquake. What other head of a charity would do that? His heart and soul is in this. Please if you are reading this. Text text text and donate $5. Even if that is all you got. Tell your friends tell anyone. It ads up. People are in desparate need. Think if this was you in the same situation? Wouldn't you want someone to help?
