Excellent idea. I donated yesterday...didn't want to wait. Glad you and koop are organizing this! 

Great idea! I'm glad Stardock cares.  

I'll do it locally....probably save on an exchange rate somewhere...

Thanks for the donation link ID! 

This hit a little too close to home.  Families having their houses collapsed on them w/ their family members inside.  They frantically pick up their incapacitated family members and try to rush them to a hospital, but there's no way:  they're too poor for a car, the roads are demolished and filled with other people in the same situation, and even if you got there you'd have to wait in line.  No home, no money, all you can do is lay down your dying family member on the street and try to wash their wounds.   I go to work and then come home and play King's Bounty.

Larry is always thinking.  Great idea.

I'm supposedly a bleeding-heart liberal, but I've mostly been burying my head in the sand too. It's almost too much to believe that Haiti of all places should take a hit like this. It's not like they've been diaster-free for a decade or two, or even managed to make much progress in stamping out the Baby Doc-style thuggery that's plauged their half of Hispaniola for so long.

Still, it's nice to see a MI-based outfit standing up for a beleaguered nation in the far-off Carribean.

 I donated locally

I don't really like most charity organizations but the Red Cross comes the closest to doing everything possible to help people in emergency situations.  This is a good post Island Dog .  With the disaster that was Hurricane Katrina I hope more people come to realize that depending on who's in "office" , that relief does'nt always come when needed.  As far as I can tell the Red Cross is race/economic friendly to all. 

I gave to Compassion International.   Although none of "my" kids are in Haiti, Compassion's offices in Haiti got ravaged by the earthquake, and they were trying to help kids before all this; let alone after.

Thanks, Island_Dog for posting this and thanks, Dr. Guy, for your kind words. (PS: A happy healthy New Year wish to you and your family.)

I went with Red Cross myself.

JoeUser really does care and that crosses all political borders.

I'm pretty sure nytimes.com is not widely-admired by you JU folks, but they just posted a very thoughtful, moving piece about some NYFD & NYPD folks who worked the 9/11 site and are now down in Haiti.
