Seattle Atheists expresses its deep sorrow and concern for the people of Haiti. The capitol of Haiti, Port-au-Prince, was struck Tuesday by a magnitude-7 earthquake. Many thousands are feared dead, tens of thousands have been left homeless, and the country has been devastated.
To ensure rapid response to this tragedy, we would like our readers to donate immediately to any of the following charities working right now to help the people of Haiti:
Humanist Charities Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund
We urge all members of the humanist and freethought community to join us in the relief effort. You can make a donation to the Humanist Charities’ Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund online, or by calling 1-800-837-3792.
The Center for Inquiry
CFI is accepting disaster-relief donations through its S.H.A.R.E. program to support those providing care to the survivors of the magnitude-7 earthquake. 100 percent of all donations will be sent directly to the secular aid group Doctors Without Borders, which suffered the loss of all
three of its medical facilities and is working against difficulties to provide the basics of first-aid care and stabilization.
Please make your contribution to S.H.A.R.E. here. All funds sent to S.H.A.R.E. are tax
exempt in the United States.
