The news from Haiti remains grim.
President Obama has mobilized the resources of the US Government to help and is to be applauded for the swiftness and scale of the effort.
When it comes to disaster relief, politics must always be set aside and indeed, Former President's Clinton and Bush have teamed up to spearhead efforts.
Here is one list of agencies on the ground in Haiti.
Hugh Hewitt offers his list of four organization on the ground in Haiti worthy of support.
Here is another list of groups working to assist Haiti.
Please give to any reputable organization you trust. When people need help, we need to step up to the plate and give.
President Bush put it simply, "The most effective way for Americans to help the people of Haiti is to contribute money. That money will go to organizations on the ground and will be -- who will be able to effectively spend it. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water -- just send your cash. One of the things that the President and I will do is to make sure your money is spent wisely."
And so now, I will go to an organization I have supported on many occasions in the past, World Vision, to donate.
Find one you want to support and please do so!
