Do you have a source for that?

Not that I don't believe you, But if money is involved I would like to know more about the people than "they"


and that is a different number and text than what I have been seeing since the earthquake.

I'm all for helping people in need, but at the same time i like to do my homework and know that it is not a scam. There are a lot of people that will try and trick others, by changing a number or something to divert funds.

Well not on my TV, I was watching something else.

and it wasn't listed on any of the mobile charites lists, so I wanted to confirm it.

But thanks for the website.

Definitely pays to check out any site or request for sure. A simple query of "Haiti Give 50555" brought up all kinds of sites, Red Cross, and such. It was running underneath the program the whole time so I'd say it is safe to say it's authentic. NPR had a bit on it during the day and they stated that this is the best way of ensuring the money gets payed- the mobile companies are actually sending the money straight out and you get the bill later. Unlike other pledges they have found that 99% of these pledges WILL get paid.

Hopefully they can find ways to control scammers from getting into this and messing up a really good thing.

$hit- this just opens a big can of worms. Rev. Patty Robinson is going to say that if you turn it upside down it says 666 proof of the devil!

Yes that is the redcross number. Red Cross Texting page


I think that it is really cool that you "text" and donate a small amount of money, I think that they have gotten so many texts that its around $10million
