As things stand I’m taking off on a flight for Santo Domingo, DR tomorrow morning.  From there I’ll attach with an NGO to head over to Haiti to help in any way I can.

If anyone wants to donate funds towards medical materials and transportation, you can shoot me an e-mail here.  Additionally if anyone in New York wants to donate medical supplies you can drop by my apartment tonight.  I’d like to take down a suitcase of stuff.

UPDATE 1/15/10:

I’m about to head out to the airport.  The support from everyone has been overwhelming.  I now have a huge suitcase full of medical supplies.

Because I’m going down for only a week and things are SO bad in Haiti, I might not even be able to make it into Haiti or Port Au Prince.  There is much help needed and I’m just going to do what I can in the time that I have.  Thank you so much for your prayers and support.  The people of Haiti are really suffering now.  Please find some way that you can help.

I won’t have my computer down there (I’m about to part with it now).  As long as I have phone service, however, I’ll be updating my twitter every once in a while.  If you’re on twitter, you can follow me at www.twitter.com/looseluggage

That is all for now.
