Tim Taliaferro: New Damage Estimate Shows Haiti Needs More Help: "The Red Cross ended up raising $32 million from text messages alone, the telethon raised another $6 million, and now, by the Chronicle of Philanthropy's count, American charities have pledged a total of $774 million for Haiti relief efforts.
So, we're done, right?
Unfortunately, no. The earthquake in Haiti and its subsequent aftermath may have passed from our collective consciousness -- it's been more than a month since Port-au-Prince was leveled -- but the need to help the ravaged country has never been more dire."
