Live on CNN, President Clinton asks for help for "Haiti Earthquake Disaster Victims"

I just seen this live on CNN, President Bill Clinton asking people to help out with the disaster in Haiti. He says they need shelter, food, and so many things right now. So we need a large amount of people donating a small amount of money and we can do it.

He says to text as follows to donate $10:

Text *Haiti* to 20222 to donate $10 through the Clinton Foundation

Further Information

Approximately 2 million people live in the capital of Haiti and the surrounding areas where the earthquake struck. The American Red Cross is now estimating that 3 million people are affected by the disaster. Current reports from Haiti tell of terrible destruction, widespread chaos, and overcrowded hospitals.

President Clinton has long been committed to helping Haiti "build back better" from the hurricanes that devastated the nation in 2008 and to prepare for future disasters. Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, now needs our assistance more than ever.

President Clinton’s UN office and the rest of the UN system are monitoring the situation. While the full impact of this earthquake is not yet known, we do know that the survivors need immediate help.
