What could my gift actually buy? § $5 provides a water container to store clean drinking water § $10 provides a blanket that is appropriate to the climate and culture of the disaster-affected area § $25 provides a family of 5 with a kitchen set giving them the ability to cook and serve food (a disaster can destroy even the most basic family possessions and restoring family’s self-sufficiency is essential).

How to Get Help If you’re trying to reach a U.S. citizen living or traveling in Haiti, you should contact the U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Citizens Services, at 1-888-407-4747. Or you can send inquiries to Haiti-earthquake@state.gov with the following information. Full name, date of birth and passport info (if know) of the persons in Haiti you are trying to contact. Their contact info in Haiti, such as telephone number, email addresses, hotel name and location (if known). Your name and contact information and relationship to the person in Haiti. Please include any special or emergency circumstances. You can help the victims of countless crises, like the recent earthquake in Haiti, around the world each year by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, which will provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need. The American Red Cross honors donor intent. If you wish to designate your donation to a specific disaster, please do so at the time of your donation by mailing your donation with the designation to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, D.C. 20013 or to your local American Red Cross chapter.
