In this diary, I will attempt, in good faith, to speak for the current contributors to this series based on comments, emails, and off-site discussion. If I am in error, please let me know and I will correct immediately. There will be stronger words in the comments from me and allie123, but I will try to limit the scope of the diary section to things we all agree on.

The NGO's in the list below were contributed by the Daily Kos community and, frankly, we don't know the ins and outs of each one. Where we have been able, we have applied ratings from independent organizations, but as we are about to see, that has its limitations. That said, we do feel a special sense of responsibility when it comes to organizations that we actively promote. We're now feeling a little uneasy about one organization in particular that we have heavily promoted.

This is the 103rd diary on the earthquake disaster in Haiti. The first diary was by Dallasdoc and previous diaries are linked below. The idea is to keep resources visible and easily available for those wishing help.

ShelterBox: TexMex is busy moving, but carolina stargazer has posted today's ShelterBox diary.

Please also visit the most recent action diary in the Dakota Reservation series.

Join us in the comments for today's news roundup and more. Be sure to also see diaries by Bev Bell for informed ground-level information on Haiti's needs. Action alerts and links below the fold.

I'd like to start by taking a moment to draw attention to a relatively new Daily Kos Member named Beverly Bell (dKos handle is Bev Bell). She is the author of Walking on Fire: Haitian Women's Stories of Survival and Resistance and has worked with Haitian social movements for more than 30 years. Her diaries don't seem to be getting a lot of attention, but I've found each one to be a treasure. This morning's diary is no exception: Haiti: The Clock is Set at Zero.

Navajo has the most recent installment of the Dakota Reservation action series. Matching funds are available and Meteor Blades is also looking for a couple of matchers to help buy some propane.

This is the 68th diary on the earthquake disaster in Haiti. The first diary was by Dallasdoc and previous diaries are linked below. The idea is to keep resources visible and easily available for those wishing to donate to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

With the rains fast approaching, today's focus is once again on tents. If you have a few bucks to spare, please visit the most recent installment of TexMex's ShelterBox series. Then, for a little more background, take a look at Deep Harm's Rains come early to Haiti; situation "grave" diary posted yesterday.

If you're reading this tonight with a full belly within the comfort of a warm house, then you're better off than a lot of folks right now. If you're fortunate enough to be in a position to make things just a little better for those whose lives have been completely destroyed, then that's what you should do. You feel this in your heart. You know you do.

A special thanks to sardonyx for the quad-impact matching funds offered in Thursday's edition of Top Comments.

This is the 43rd diary on the earthquake disaster in Haiti. The first diary was by Dallasdoc and previous diaries are linked below. The idea is to keep resources visible and easily available for those wishing to donate to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

Patriot Daily News Clearinghouse did a special edition Haiti News Roudup last night, but it was published very late due to technical issues. If you missed it, be sure to take a look.

A lot of folks are hurting right now. If you're fortunate enough to be in a position to lend a hand to those upon whom hard times have fallen, please also take a look at recent diaries by navajo and Winter Rabbit.

This is the 34th diary on the earthquake disaster in Haiti. The first diary was by Dallasdoc and previous diaries are linked below The idea is to keep resources visible and easily available for those wishing to donate to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

If you're planning a Haiti related diary, please remember to include links to our community-driven donation pages: The most recent installment of TexMex's Shelter Box series and the most recent installment of this Dallasdoc series (or Norbrook's wiki). These diaries do not always make the Rec List and, by adding a link in your Haiti diary, you're making it easier for people unfamiliar with this community to quickly find other helpful information.

This is another installment in the "Helping the Victims of the Haiti Earthquake" series started by Dallasdoc. The previous diaries in this series are linked below. The idea is to keep resources visible and easily available for those wishing to donate to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

The following is a comprehensive list of disaster relief links compiled, edited, and updated by the previous diarists. I will update or edit as necessary, but this list exists thanks to hard work of these folks as well as many other members of the Daily Kos community via comments in previous diary versions.

In this installment, below our most recently updated set of links, I've included some information that should be of particular interest to people who live in the Atlanta area in what I hope will be the beginning of fleshing out similar details for donating both time and goods in other major metropolitan areas.

This installment is basically a repeat of yesterday's special edition by Dallasdoc, focusing on the most highly rated organizations. I'll also be taking the Wednesday AM installment and will focus on some smaller outfits and also some non-monetary ways to contribute for those of us who are running low on funds for the month.

I would also like to include an appeal here to anyone planning a Haiti related diary to include visible links to our community donation pages, the most recent installment of TexMex's ShelterBox series, and the most recent installment of this Dallasdoc series (or Norbrook's wiki version). These diaries do not always make the Rec List and, by adding a link in your Haiti diary, you're making it easier for people unfamiliar with this community to quickly find other helpful information.

This is the sixth diary on the earthquake disaster in Haiti. The first diary was by Dallasdoc, the second by cosmic debris, the third by Norbrook, the fourth by betson08, and the fifth by ALifeLessFrightening. The idea is to keep resources visible and easily available for those wishing to donate to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

The reports of the damage are horrific. Over three million people lived within a few miles of the epicenter, and the death toll is estimated to range from 50,000 to 500,000 people. This is going to be a long-term project, but the immediate need is enormous.
