Many of you are aware of the tragic 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti on Tuesday. The impacts to this already impoverished nation are staggering and help of any kind is being sought. We wanted to let you know of a program where mobile payments can be used for donations and we’re reaching out to friends and partners to ask folks to donate to the American Red Cross Relief for Haiti via texting “HAITI” to 90999.
This will work similar to mobile payments in that $10 will show up on your mobile phone bill. Mobile donations have *no* carrier fees. Boku is not the provider of this service, we just want to get the message out about this opportunity to help.
