Good Cause: How I made an iTunes Store Haiti Earthquake Relief Donation

January 19th, 2010 View Comments

It has been hard not to hear and see tragic news of the natural disaster that has hit the island of Haiti. Since I live in South Florida, I have a good number of Haitian friends, co-workers, and mutual acquaintances. But since Hurricane Katrina I have been a bit sketchy about which relief organization to donate my money. So when I got an email about the option to donate to the American Red Cross through the iTunes store, I became curious and donated. If you’ve purchased anything from the iTunes store since the this tragedy struck Haiti on January 12, then you’re already well ahead on being able to easily donate to a good cause in under 3 minutes. :)

1. Basically you go to iTunes and click on the button for American Red Cross Haiti Earthquake Relief Donation (which you can do here by clicking “Earthquake Relief”).


2. Next you can choose the amount that you would like starting from as little as $5.00 to $200.00 dollars.

3. To pay the amount of your chosen donation all you have to do is log in the same way you would when purchasing an app, song, album or movie from the iTunes Store.

4. Confirm your purchase.

5. And voila! You are all done giving a moment of your effort, time and a portion of your hard-earned money to what will benefit a people in need right now.
