I really don’t care what your politics are, and frankly, I could really care less what anyone says about the Red Cross. What I do care about is helping out people in need. Outside of hopping on a plane to Haiti myself, there’s little I can do to help the poor people suffering over there, except donate some cash.
Sure, the Red Cross as well as any other charity has some sketchy practices, but if only half my donated dollar makes it to Haiti, that’s 50 cents the wouldn’t have seen if I didn’t. Everyone’s trying to do their part, and Apple’s the latest company to offer a hand.
Apple’s set up a payment system through their iTunes portal. You can donate from $5.00 to $200.00 to the cause. If you have a couple of dollars help out some less fortunate people. Store up some good Karma, because there’s probably a good chance that you’ll need some of it returned at some point.
Thanks Apple.
