As noted to Samuel (directly) I can send his donation (and handle the transaction with him) as I assume/think that Haiti is not on the list due to Paypal limitations.
As for others: *I'd like to challenge those that can to donate to this project.* Here's the challenge: While I've already contributed $100 myself I will donate up to another $200 in $50 chunks for each contributor who donates $100 or more. Please let me know if this challenge inspires you to donate and let me know if so, and I'll pitch in $50 more for your donation (for up to 4 donations for touch base with me first).
