Former presidents were on the TV, they said send cash. So you know what that means, do the opposite. Politicians are reliable reverse barometers, am I right?
Can we get FedEx, UPS, DHL and USPS on board? The Grass roots can organize collection / palletizing stations. The big guys can then ship them to their regular points of concentration, like Memphis for FedEx. From there USAF or Iceland air or whoever has the proper kind of aircraft to land/take off in Haiti, can fly them to Haiti Monday or Tuesday.
Those people need immediate aid, not a weeek from now, not a month from now; all the stuff that it takes to get through the day. They need to and we can flood that area with clothes, bandages, diapers what ever, by Monday or Tuesday. Even if half of what we get to the Haitians is wasted or hoarded or resold or what ever, tons and tons will be put to use saving lives, providing comfort.
Who knows someone at FedEx or UPS? Can we get them on board? I know that local grass roots radio stations, churches, Boy Scouts etc. can be mobilized immediately.
Also, I would like to offer a place to stay, food and comfort for upto 4 Haitian refugees for as long as needed.
I don't have much money, but I do have time, energy, compassion and love.
