Donation and Aid info from the US State Department
including info on using text msgs to donate…
“Donate directly is through the Weill-Cornell Hospital (GHESKIO) in Port-au-Prince Haiti”: http://wcmchelpshaiti.org
This hospital is located close to ground zero of the earthquake and many med students and doctors were injured but are still assisting far too many patients. My brother Eliot is a med student at Cornell and is trying to get money going directly to the hospital instead of getting caught up in bureaucratic non-profit system. http://www.med.cornell.edu/globalhealth
