Donate relief money using your cell phone
Cell phones have made our lives so much more simple in so many ways. One of the latest ways to use your cell phone is for making donations to your favorite charity. With the recent earthquake in Haiti there is a need for relief money to help the survivors.
The American Red Cross has set up a system for a $10 donation. The $10 goes directly to The American Red Cross and is billed to your cell phone. The process is so simple even a caveman can do it.
- Text the word “Haiti” without the quotes to 90999.
- You will get a reply asking to verify the $10 donation.
- Reply “yes” without the quotes.
- You will be billed $10 to your cell phone
I have had first hand experience as a volunteer for The American Red Cross. They can provide shelter, meals, and more for survivors of catastrophic events. There are other disaster relief organizations that also help, but after a major catastrophy there is also the possibility of scams. One should be very careful when making any donation. Always check to make sure your money is going where you intend.
