Tuesday afternoon, Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, sustained a 7.0 earthquake. As a result, massive devastation ensued and one of the first high-profile celebrities to bring attention to the nation’s plight.

One of the first high-profile celebrity to encourage fundraising efforts as a result of the disaster is musician Wyclef Jean, calling for donations to be made to his nonprofit organization, the Yele Haiti Fund. “The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone,” Jean tells People magazine. And to donate, you can text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5.

Since then, other stars have rallied to the cause like humanitarians Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, with celebs Tweeting suggestions as to how to donate money to the Red Cross. The couple released to JustJared.com, “We are devastated by the news from Haiti. We will work closely with our
good friend Wyclef Jean to support the humanitarian efforts on the
island and help those who have been injured and left without homes and
shelter.”

For those of you who want to donate, you can visit the American Red Cross website and making an unrestricted donation to the International Response Fund or by texting “Haiti” to 90999 to send a $10 donation.
