Texting $10 for Haiti?

[jasi2006]

Rachel just mentioned this but it wasn't clear to me. Anyone catch that number that should be used? I believe if you text the word Haiti when you dial the number she gave, $10 will go to the Haiti fund and be billed to you phone. Great idea but I missed the phone number. Did anyone here get it? Please post.

1. No way in hell I'd do that till I knew who's pocket it was going into.

I understand people want to help and they want to do it asap, but be careful with your money folks, make sure it's really going to help those who need it.

2. Just did it

It goes to the Red Cross International Relief fund.

3. Found a couple with google

I can't vouch for anything, I'm simply copy-pasting. It's a good idea though, but I'd want to know it was legit.
