The American Red Cross has received more then 22 million dollars via text message donations since the earthquake in Haiti this past week. Through a nonprofit mobile phone giving foundation established by the big four cell companies AT &T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon and an aggressive campaign supported by the National Football League, cell phone users can text the word "Haiti" to the number 90999 and a $10.00 donation will be a added to the users bill and sent to earthquake relief.
In an act of good faith, Verizon has not waited for the cell users to pay to forward 3 million dollars to get money in the hands of the people who need it most.
