I was curious about how this service works, mostly to know where the money is actually flowing. I Googled for awhile and came up with nothing, but thanks to randomwalker's post in this thread (<a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1051844" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1051844</a>), I was able to dig up some info. I summarized what I found here:<p><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/aoyin/text_haiti_to_90999_to_donate_10_through_the_red/c0iqe8k" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/aoyin/text_haiti_t...</a><p>It's not definitive, but hopefully it'll help people make a more informed judgement about using this short code for donations.<p>p.s. this charity was mentioned on Reddit:<p><a href="http://www.pih.org/home.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.pih.org/home.html</a><p>I'd never heard of it, but the founder, Paul Farmer, has a long history of working in and for Haiti.
