The Caribbean island nation of Haiti has been hammered by Fay, Gustav, and Hannah. According to CNN, over two hundred are dead due to storms, and thousands are starving, in need of food and water, even as Hurricane Ike bears down.

Charity Navigator, an independent organization that rates charities, lists several organizations rushing to respond, here. I’ve chosen the American Red Cross for my own donation, but there are many other worthy organizations you can choose from.
Please help if you can. The need is urgent! Don’t delay. Online donation only takes a couple of minutes, and even a five-dollar donation can make a difference.

09 Sep 08 Update: Ike has passed over Haiti and more people have been killed. It’s a tiny, impoverished country, and the people have very little means to rebuild. The Caribbean is just getting hammered, folks. Please, do what you can to help.
