PokerTableRatings's Haiti Relief Fundraiser

Help us save lives in Haiti! By now you've all heard about the terrible earthquake that struck near Port-au-Prince, and we've all seen the horrific images of death and destruction.

PTR is announcing a dollar match fundraiser to help with the relief efforts. We'll match contributions up to $5,000. We encourage you to give as much as you can.

The earthquake was only the beginning for the people of Haiti, besides dealing with the immediate destruction there are food and water shortages. Doctors are predicting mass starvation, dehydration, and rampant spread of disease. Your contribution can help!

Help us show the world that poker players care too!

Project summary

Just hours after a catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti — killing thousands and displacing up to two million people — Mercy Corps began deploying an experienced, field-tested emergency response team. Upon arriving in Port-au-Prince, we went immediately to work, talking with displaced survivors about what they needed most. We delivered 15 tons of food to the city's biggest hospital. We got clean water flowing again in medical clinics and shattered neighborhoods. We ensured a reliable income for survivors by creating a cash-for-work program, which also began revitalizing failing local economies. Today, our team is working with survivors, local authorities and partner organizations on long-term plans — including job creation — that will help Haiti rebuild better and stronger.
