Many of the American Idol graduates and their fans have tweeted their support of the Haitian relief efforts. There are so many reputable charities that are doing everything they can to help out. Find one and do what you can to help.
I’ve heard of 2 fan group efforts that are worth noting and supporting. If there are others please let me know.
One group is the various American Idol fans that populate ontd_ai (Oh No They Didn’t_American Idol). Go here to read more and to take part in their fundraisers but they are a private community so the link may not give you access. So far they have raised $7,851.00. Kudos to everyone who is helping.
The other group are Clay Aiken fans who have just set up a page on unicefusa.org. Fans can join the From the Heart of the ClayNation team and donate to this very worthwhile cause.
I was also sent this video that is an emotional plea for help and a fitting tribute to the work that UNICEF does.
Thanks for the tips.

How can one not be affected by this, it’s heartbreaking to see the suffering of the these people. Thank you to everyone that can contribute, a little can go a long way. The song choice is perfect for this montage and I pray it brings awareness of the devastation this earthquake has brought to these people. I can not imagine. chel4clay(Quote)
There but for the grace of God go I…. Truer words were never spoken.I will be sending in my donation. afan(Quote)
This is a wonderful effort and will, hopefully, continue to attract donations. I felt that UNICEF was a way to donate and make sure my dollars were used properly so I made my contribution directly to them several days ago. Clay’s fans are incredibly generous and this effort is certainly worthy of that generosity. stargazer(Quote)

Thanks for posting this info. Such devastation and heartbreak in Haiti.
If everyone gave just a few dollars, it would go so far in helping these people. Every little bit helps. Pat(Quote)
MJ, thanks so much for spreading the word about our efforts to raise money for Haiti. Unicef and children are very close to Clay Aiken’s heart. Thanks also for using SueRue’s montage to highlight the suffering that is taking place right now. anaturegirl(Quote)

Thank you for posting this information. I feel we all have an obligation to do something, even if it is only a small amount.
The video is so touching and done brilliantly. This should be on a UNICEF site. Marty(Quote)
Breaks my heart to see how the people of Haiti are suffering.
The video is just perfect. clayam(Quote)
I cannot even begin to fathom the magnitude of the devastation in Haiti – and then I read today there are more aftershocks. We need, as a global community, to help. ANY amount goes a LONG WAY!!!! If everyone who reads this blog donates $5 the amount raised would be staggering.
Please, for the children of Haiti, please donate. UNICEF is sending 100% of all donations directly to Haiti. You never know when you may need help and, as my name implies, I’m a firm believer in Karma. There But for the Grace of God go I indeed. Karma(Quote)
