School kids donated a lot as well. I think one of the stories that can get missed is how many school age children responded to the need and donated to Haiti. In my sons' case (4th and 5th graders), the students had the idea, which the PTA then supported, and the students raised $1570 which was sent to the American Red Cross designated for Haitian relief. It does show the kids that the change and currency they brought in does matter when added to thousands of other similar efforts.
