Please donate

Haiti as all of you must know needs as much help as possible. At times like this all you want to do is help. Sometimes deciding where to give can be confusing. There are many charitable organizations providing aid in the form of food, and medicine. Some of the organizations collecting donations might not be using all of the funds towards relief. They may set an amount and keep the left overs for future disasters. Not everyone is comfortable with that idea. A couple of reputable places you can send your support:

OneXOne (Rogers/Fido customers)
Text “HELP” or “Donate” to 1291. Reply to confirmation request with 'yes.' You will receive a thank you message that confirms the donation and $5 will be added to your next Wireless invoice.

Rogers will forward 100 per cent of the SMS revenues to OneXOne. In addition, Rogers Communications and the Rogers family will donate $250,000 in funds and goods to Partners In Health: Haiti and other relief organizations in the country.

The Red Cross will also be collecting at the following TTC stations Monday, Jan. 18 during the morning and evening rush:
