If you’ve got the means and would like to chip in to help earthquake-rattled Chile, below is a list of ways to do so. Although the quake’s death toll is nowhere near that of Haiti’s, Chile will still need tons of humanitarian aid and financial support to:
- Help the 500,000 + people who are now homeless
- Rebuild infrastructure
From your mobile:
Much like it did with the Haitian relief effort, the Mobile Giving Foundation has launched an SMS campaign for micro-donations of $5 and $10. So if you live in the United States, go ahead and send a text message to any one of these numbers.
- Text the word “CHILE” to 25383 to donate $10 on behalf of the Habitat for Humanity
- Text the word “CHILE” to 20222 to donate $10 on behalf of World Vision
- Text the word “CHILE” to 52000 to donate $10 on behalf of The Salvation Army
- Text the word “AID” to 50555 to donate $10 on behalf of Operation USA
