First Lady on Haiti Earthquake: ‘We Can All Do Something’

by: LLS • January 15, 2010 

Early estimates indicate that as many as three million people may be affected by the catastrophic earthquake which hit Haiti on January 12, 2010. The American Red Cross’ efforts are currently underway to provide basic supplies like food, water and medicine. The people of Haiti are struggling to survive during this critical time of need and you have the power to help.

In an effort to inspire Americans to support relief efforts, First Lady Michelle Obama, The Advertising Council and the American Red Cross have partnered to create a national public service advertisement campaign (PSA) to raise money to assist Haitians during this critical time of need.

The PSAs encourage all Americans to contribute to the American Red Cross’ relief efforts by going to www.redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED-CROSS or texting “HAITI” to 9-0-9-9-9* to automatically donate $10 to the American Red Cross.
