By now you've probably heard about the earthquake in Haiti, which has killed hundreds of thousands and injured millions.

Currently, there's a fannish auction set up to raise money for relief and aid efforts at [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti . For those who haven't participated in one before, a fannish auction has authors and artists offer their services essentially on commission, but instead of sending the money to the author or artist, you donate an agreed-upon amount of money to a relief organization of your choice.

If you wish to donate on your own, [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti  has a list of organizations involved with the relief effort which are accepting donations, including the Red Cross, Red Cross/Red Crescent, and Doctors Without Borders. Check the comments as well for more organizations.

Additionally, for those in the US, you can donate by texting "HAITI" to 90999. The $10 donation will be charged to your cell phone bill.
