Yesterday the Yarn Harlot threw up the knit signal for knitters everywhere to unite in the cause of helping Haiti. I pledged $100 and I encourage each and every one of you to give what you can to help the dire situation there.
If you are so inclined, consider donating to Knitters Without Borders, which is a fundraising arm for Doctors Without Borders. For more information, click here. Or donate in your own way. If positive thoughts are all you can afford, I'm sure those are appreciated as well.
Also, I have joined the Ravelry group Hugs for Haiti which has a goal of knitting and/or crocheting squares that will be sent off and assembled and eventually sent to Haiti. Read more about it here. If you've got scraps of superwash wool lying around, knit or crochet it into a square (or several squares) and contact the moderator of this group to see where you should send them.
In addition to my stash organization this weekend, I'll be working on cranking out a few squares to send soon. Please consider doing the same. If everyone on Ravelry sent a square, there would be a lot of blankets assembled to send love to Haiti from all over the world.

I don't know if there are any words for the devastation in Haiti. I donated immediately but I wish there was more I could do.
